Passengers arriving and departing have a variety of options for both parking and ground transportation. A complimentary Cell Phone lot is available for those waiting for passengers to arrive at IND.

History
Plans for a new airport complex started in the late 1970’s; over the next three decades, the “Midfield Project” was changed, modified, reviewed and updated to ensure the final outcome would be a state-of-the-art, new and modern facility to serve the city of Indianapolis and the state for years to come.

The Colonel H. Weir Cook Terminal is a state-of-the-art facility opened in November of 2008, a few years after a new Control Tower and TRACON building were constructed. The $1.1 billion development was the largest in Indianapolis’ history.

International passengers arriving into IND can now be processed at customs in the main passenger building; this was not the case in previous years.
