history
The airport opened in September 1931 . 1944-1975 it was called Weir Cook Municipal Airport until it got its current name through the approval of international air traffic. A new terminal building was opened in 1957 when Trans World Airlines offered the first scheduled flights to Indianapolis. It was expanded in 1968, 1972 and 1987, among others. In 1988, FedEx began using Indianapolis International Airport. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the airport served as a secondary hub for US Airways , which carried 49% of all passengers to and from the airport. 1995-2000, however, US Airways significantly reduced its connections to Indianapolis. Around this time, ATA Airlines was building up its operations in Indianapolis strongly. When this airline went bankrupt in 2004–2007, its Indianapolis flights were also initially severely restricted, and in 2006 completely terminated.
A new passenger terminal was put into operation on November 11th and 12th, 2008. This was built between the parallel runways. The terminal was named Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal, it was named after Harvey Weir Cook , a World War I flying ace. The terminal, originally built in 1957 on the northeast apron, was demolished in 2013.
