The airport has a lot of positive energy behind it right now, so I think it deserves its own thread
FedEx:
Jan 26, 2018-Plans to pump $1.5 billion into its Indianapolis hub in the coming years.
Dec 04, 2017-Planning to invest $385 million into new equipment at its hub at Indianapolis International Airport.
Sep 13, 2016-Planning a $170 million investment in its hub at Indianapolis International Airport.
Not directly airport related: Oct 10, 2017-Plans to build a $259 million small-package distribution center in Greenwood.
An enormous amount of nonstop flights have been added as well, here is a list of the new nonstop flights the airport has announced or started in the past year:
Alaska/Virgin America: San Francisco and Seattle/Tacoma
Allegiant: Austin, Charleston, Destin–Fort Walton Beach Airport, Sarasota, Phoenix/Mesa
Delta: Paris–Charles de Gaulle and Seattle/Tacoma + made Salt Lake city year round and increased capacity to Cancun, Minneapolis, New York JFK, Orlando, and Raleigh
Frontier: Austin, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Tampa
Southwest: Austin, Cancun, Newark, New Orleans, San Diego, and Oakland
United: Added a second daily San Francisco flight
Allegiant also plans to become the “hometown airline” of Indianapolis, and just opened an aircraft/crew base at the airport, with plans to expand on their presence at the airport
According to the Exec Director of the airport, Delta is also planning on making Indianapolis a “connecting point”
I also heard that the city is trying to get USPS to move their facility from downtown to the airport, the post master general even went and toured but nothing came of it and for now USPS doesn’t seem that interested.
