It is owned by the City of Indianapolis and operated by British airport operator BAA. The airport is the largest of Indiana and a major hub for FedEx.

History

Before it got its International designation, it was called Weir-Cook Airport, after Lt. Col. Harvey Weir-Cook of Wilkinson, Indiana, who was a US Army Air Corps pilot in World War I and World War II, where he was killed while flying a P-40 over New Zealand. He was a flying ace during WWI, with seven victories. The airport opened in 1931 and the name was changed to Weir-Cook in 1944.

On October 31, 1994, American Eagle Flight 4184, which was flying to Chicago, Illinois's O'Hare International Airport from Indianapolis, crashed into a soybean field, killing everyone on board.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, USAir (now USAirways) maintained a secondary hub in Indianapolis, with non-stop jet service to locations on the west coast and Florida as well as turbo-prop service to cities throughout the Midwest. In the late 1990s, USAirways substantially reduced its service out of Indianapolis.

In 2004, Northwest Airlines announced a major service expansion in Indianapolis.

A state-of-the-art, 1.2 million square foot midfield terminal is currently being constructed on the west side of the airport. The new terminal is scheduled to open in 2008.
