The Cuban comedian Javier Berridy once again publicly denounced the deterioration of the Miami International Airport (MIA), this time due to the elevators being out of service in one of the terminals.
“Mayor, look, the airport elevators are out of order. You or whoever is responsible…”, the content creator claimed in a video shared on his social media, as he showed how travelers had to climb the stairs carrying their luggage.
Berridy also pointed out gaps and flaws in the facility, describing the scene as an embarrassment for one of the busiest terminals in the United States. “Look up, walking, with luggage. This is unbelievable”, he remarked ironically.
The comedian had previously criticized the state of the MIA, where in April he reported the presence of cockroaches in the middle of the terminal and sent another direct message to Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava. On that occasion, the episode sparked a wave of criticism on social media against the local administration and the airport's management.
Now, her new complaint reignites alarms about the visible decline of the MIA, a place that for many Cubans represents the gateway in and out of the island's largest diaspora in the United States.
Although the mayor has not responded to the comedian's demands, comments on social media reflect the outrage of thousands of travelers who claim to have had similar experiences at the airport.
"The airport is becoming increasingly deteriorated, abandoned, and dirty," say some, while others sarcastically comment on the situation, comparing MIA to José Martí Airport in Havana.
Beyond the joke, Berridy's allegations highlight a growing discontent in the community: the feeling that Miami, the symbolic city of Cuban emigration, offers a welcome increasingly overshadowed by the deterioration of its main gateway.
