One of the first new airports to open in the U.S. since Sept. 11, 2001, Indianapolis cut the ribbon to its 1.2 million square foot airport complex on November 11, 2008.
Although the airport's
location moved to a new home off I-70, the Indianapolis Airport Authority's ongoing commitment to providing an outstanding airport experience
for its customers did not.
Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is 16 minutes from downtown Indianapolis off I-70 via Exit 68. The airport averages 163 flights to 37 destinations daily and offers some of the lowest fares in the nation.
Each year, more than 8 million passengers pass through Indianapolis International Airport, which is served by 11 major airlines.
A destination and launching pad for both commerce and community, it is strategically located just minutes from major U.S. interstates including I-65, I-865, I-69, I-70, and I-74, all of which connect to the city's I-465 beltway. It is also within minutes of U.S. 40, U.S. 31, and U.S. 52.
The eighth largest cargo center in the U.S., it is home of the second-largest FedEx Express operation in the world. More than 2.2 billion pounds of cargo were managed at IND in 2008. It is an important catalyst for economic development in central Indiana and the Midwestern region.
