American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) is one of the cheap stocks that will go to the moon according to Reddit. On February 25, American Airlines and Miami-Dade County unveiled a $1 billion expansion plan for a reimagined Concourse D at Miami International Airport/MIA. The centerpiece of the project, Gate D60, is scheduled to break ground in 2027 and will transform the existing regional jet space into a three-level extension capable of accommodating larger aircraft.

This development aims to eliminate outside boarding and provide 17 new gates, improving the flow and comfort for passengers at American’s primary gateway to Latin America. The expansion is designed to elevate the traveler experience with bright, expansive spaces featuring indoor palm trees, new shopping, and diverse dining options. Crucially, the new facility will streamline international travel by providing direct third-floor access to the MIA customs hall.
