6 thoughts on “Indy airport makes push for more non-stop flights

  1. IND, a very pleasant and well designed airport. Certainly, the airport can handle many more flights. However, the type of flights — predominantly commuter jets to a major hub — is not exciting. As such IND seems like a second or third rate city. The best thing that could happen would be real high speed rail directly to Chicago O’Hare or Detroit Metropolitan where one can board many more convenient as well as non-stop flights.

    What if IND considered better connections via dedicated express bus routes to other Indiana city so that the demand (and hopefully, flight connections) increases at IND.

    This article just mentions locations popular for leisure travel. Yes, that is important, but what about direct and convenient flight to other hubs or to major cities. Nashville is a Southwest Airlines key city. Nashville has long been more progressive and aggressive about sound growth, planning, and tourism — granted, being a music capital helps much. Indianapolis decision-makers decided being a hub city would drive up prices and therefore snubbed that options many years ago; and considering the consolidation of hubs with airline mergers, it was perhaps the smart move. Just look at the dead terminals in Cincinnati (ex-Delta hub), Cleveland (ex-Continental/United hub), St. Lous (ex-American hub).

    What can set IND apart from the nearby competition of Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus and St. Louis? Perhaps a reliever for Detroit or Chicago for transferring passenger not destined to either location.

    One just hopes IND can maintain direct links to all major cities,
