==History==
===Beginnings===
'''Indianapolis Municipal Airport''' opened on September 24, 1931,<ref>{{cite web|title=Indianapolis Municipal Airport|url=https://intransporthistory.home.blog/2019/08/20/indianapolis-municipal-airport/|publisher=Indiana Transportation History|access-date=July 30, 2025|date=August 20, 2019}}</ref> replacing the older [[Stout Army Air Field|Stout Field]] as the primary city airport. The airport was initially built on about {{convert|320|acre}} of land in the southwestern edge of the city, with an additional {{convert|627|acre}} reserved for future expansions at the airport.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://alfpolis.sitehost.iu.edu/indianapolis-international-airport/|title=Indianapolis International Airport|publisher=Indiana University|accessdate=31 August 2023|archive-date=August 31, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230831000454/https://alfpolis.sitehost.iu.edu/indianapolis-international-airport/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1944, it was renamed '''Weir Cook Municipal Airport''', after [[US Army Air Forces]] Col. [[Harvey Weir Cook]] of [[Wilkinson, Indiana]], who had become a [[flying ace]] during [[World War I]] with seven victories and had died flying a [[P-39]] over [[New Caledonia]] in [[World War II]].

Indianapolis was one of many stops along the first transcontinental air/rail service between Los Angeles and New York that was started by [[Transcontinental Air Transport]] (TAT) in 1929. TAT would later become [[Trans World Airlines]] (TWA) and continued to serve IND until their merger into [[American Airlines]] in 2001.

Since 1962, the airport has been owned and operated by the [[Indianapolis Airport Authority]] (IAA). The IAA has an eight-member board with members appointed by the mayor of Indianapolis and other officials from Marion, [[Hendricks County, Indiana|Hendricks]], and [[Hamilton County, Indiana|Hamilton]] counties in central Indiana. In 1976, the board renamed the airport Indianapolis International Airport.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080718/BUSINESS/80718004 |title=Airport keeps name, but will honor Weir Cook |date=July 18, 2008 |publisher=6 News Indianapolis |access-date=July 18, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120826191910/http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20080718%2FBUSINESS%2F80718004 |archive-date=August 26, 2012 }}</ref>

From 1957 to 2008, the passenger terminal was on the east side of the airfield off High School Road. This now-demolished facility was renovated and expanded many times, notably in 1968 (Concourses A and B), 1972 (Concourse D), and 1987 (Concourse C and the attached parking garage). This complex, along with the International Arrivals Terminal (opened in 1976) on the north side of the airfield (off Pierson Drive), was replaced by the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal on November 12, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/look-at-changes-to-indianapolis-airport-since-1984|title=TIMELAPSE: Look at changes to Indy airport since 1984|date=January 13, 2017|publisher=WRTV|accessdate=4 April 2023|archive-date=April 4, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404204806/https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/look-at-changes-to-indianapolis-airport-since-1984|url-status=live}}</ref>

The April 1957 Official Airline Guide (OAG) shows 82 weekday departures: 24 Eastern, 22 TWA, 15 Delta, 11 American, 9 Lake Central and 1 Ozark. Eastern had a nonstop to Atlanta and one to Birmingham and TWA had two to New York-LaGuardia; no other nonstops reached beyond Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Louisville and Pittsburgh. The first jets were TWA [[Convair 880]]s in 1961. Westward nonstops did not reach beyond St. Louis until 1967 when TWA started a JFK-IND-LAX flight with a [[Boeing 707]]. In the mid-1970s, TWA ran a widebody [[Lockheed L-1011]] on the nonstop flight to Los Angeles.<ref>TWA timetable May 1, 1974</ref>

===Recent years===
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, USAir (later [[US Airways]]) had a secondary hub in Indianapolis with non-stop jets to the West Coast, East Coast, and Florida and turboprop flights to cities around the [[Midwest]]. USAir peaked at 146 daily departures (including its prop affiliates), with 49% of all seats. USAir ended the hub in the late 1990s.{{Citation needed|date=December 2016}}

[[FedEx Express]] began its hub at the airport in 1988, with an expansion of the hub occurring ten years later. The hub employs around 4,000 people and has a sort capacity of nearly 100,000 packages per hour, making Indianapolis the largest FedEx hub in the world outside of the company's [[SuperHub]] in Memphis.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fedex.com/en-us/about/policy/aviation/fedex-express-indianapolis-hub.html|title=Second-Largest FedEx Express Hub Turns 30|publisher=FedEx.com|accessdate=30 August 2023|archive-date=October 6, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241006163738/https://www.fedex.com/en-us/about/policy/aviation/fedex-express-indianapolis-hub.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Indianapolis was a hub for then locally based [[ATA Airlines]] and its regional affiliate, [[Chicago Express Airlines|Chicago Express]]/[[ATA Connection]]. After that airline entered [[Chapter 11|Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection]] in late 2004, operations at IND were cut, then eliminated in 2006.<ref>{{cite news|title=ATA Expects to Stop Flights From Its Hometown in January|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/02/business/02air.html?ref=ataairlines|access-date=December 27, 2013|newspaper=New York Times|date=November 2, 2005|archive-date=October 6, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241006163644/https://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/02/business/ata-expects-to-stop-flights-from-its-hometown-in-january.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ATA's demise gave [[Northwest Airlines]] an opportunity to expand operations, making Indianapolis a focus city with mainline flights to the West Coast, East Coast, and the South.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wthr.com/article/news/northwest-increasing-its-presence-at-airport/531-d8076fd6-b4ff-4101-94b9-d9d16a6ca107|title=Northwest increasing its presence at airport|date=March 9, 2005|publisher=WTHR|accessdate=1 September 2023|archive-date=September 1, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230901040117/https://www.wthr.com/article/news/northwest-increasing-its-presence-at-airport/531-d8076fd6-b4ff-4101-94b9-d9d16a6ca107|url-status=live}}</ref> Northwest was later acquired by [[Delta Air Lines]] in 2008, and a decade later, Delta began service from Indianapolis to [[Charles De Gaulle Airport|Paris]] in May 2018.

In 1994, [[BAA USA]] was awarded a 10-year contract to manage the Indianapolis International Airport. The contract was extended three years but was later cut a year short at the request of the BAA.

===Runways===
The airport has three runways: two [[parallel (geometry)|parallel]] and one [[crosswind]]. The crosswind runway, 14/32, is the shortest of the three at {{convert|7278|ft|m|adj=off}}, and the only original runway remaining. Historical aerial imagery shows that the original runway 5/23 became 5L/23R when 5R/23L was first constructed in the late 1980s and opened in 1989.<ref>{{Cite web |title=S Runway Reconstruction |url=https://www.ind.com/business/s-runway-reconstruction |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250115214250/https://www.ind.com/business/s-runway-reconstruction |archive-date=2025-01-15 |access-date=2025-09-22 |website=Indianapolis Airport Authority |language=en-EN}}</ref> When the current 5L/23R was built in the mid-1990s, the original 5L/23R runway was decommissioned. Portions of it are still visible near the site of the old terminal, including a segment where a former FedEx Boeing 727 still remains for fire training. The new terminal now occupies what used to be the southwestern end of the original 5/23 runway. The most recently refurbished runway is 5R/23L, completed in 2024 as part of a large expansion program. Indianapolis International Airport received a $26.6 million grant from the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] (FAA) on August 2, 2024. The grant was one of the largest among airports selected to receive the latest round of funding. The funding was applied to the reconstruction of IND's Runway 5R-23L and Taxiway D to improve safety. The project, which included adding [[LED]] runway and taxiway lighting was completed in late 2024. The [[Indianapolis Airport Authority]] (IAA) spent approximately $38.6 million with 34 diverse businesses for phase one and two. The construction project has created more than 3,200 jobs, across all three phases of the reconstruction.<ref>{{cite web |title=A major construction project is underway at IND with a significant economic impact |url=https://www.ind.com/business/s-runway-reconstruction |access-date=May 13, 2025 |publisher=[[Indianapolis Airport Authority]] |date=January 13, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Indy Airport Receives One of the Largest FAA Grants |url=https://www.ind.com/about/media/media-releases/indy-airport-receives-one-of-the-largest-faa-grants |access-date=May 13, 2025 |publisher=[[Indianapolis Airport Authority]] |date=August 2, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Indianapolis airport gets money to renovate runways |url=https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/indianapolis-international-airport-gets-money-renovate-runways-faa-25-million-295-led-capacity-indy-ind-kind-5r-23l-taxiway-d-upgrade-sustainability/531-5110c7f1-ce59-4236-9b94-d03b8438571a |access-date=June 7, 2025 |publisher=WTHR |date=August 2, 2024}}</ref> The north parallel runway (5L/23R) was refurbished in 2021 which allowed the south parallel runway reconstruction to proceed with minimal operational impact to the airfield.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-04 |title=Project Awards Directory - IND Runway 5L-23R & Taxiway B Rehabilitation Project |url=https://sustainableinfrastructure.org/project-awards/5l-23r-runway-and-taxiway-b-rehabilitation-project/ |access-date=2025-09-22 |language=en-US}}</ref>
