Indianapolis International Airport (IND/KIND) is the primary commercial airport serving Indianapolis, Indiana, and the surrounding metropolitan area. It is owned and operated by the Indianapolis Airport Authority and handles millions of passengers annually alongside substantial cargo operations.
The airport opened its current terminal facility in 2008, replacing the former Weir Cook Terminal. The new terminal was widely praised for its design and amenities, earning recognition as one of the best new airports in North America at the time of its opening.
