I went through the new airport facility recently and just had to say something. Wow…what a difference from the one I remember from the old days. The Indianapolis International Airport was relocated and rebuilt from the ground up last year. The earlier version from the 50′s is like a bus station compared to this latest creation. The place reminds me now a little bit like being at one of the mega-exhibits at Epcot in Disney World. A modernistic look, open and spacious, with really clean lines. Kind of an upbeat and fun atmosphere. You could have convinced me that I was inside Epcots new World of Aviation instead.
If you are traveling, the terminal seems to function well. Lots of creature comforts and lounges that turn waiting for a flight delay into a real pleasure instead. There’s a number of shops and an immense and attractive food court that has something for everyone. There’s tons of covered parking and an amazing support network for travelers needing car rentals.
While most people will enjoy the airport for passenger flights, the commercial cargo end of the business is impressive. Especially the FedEx facility. It has a huge presence there. What an asset for the city to have their shipping hub located here. Their operation here is the second largest in the world.
OK…Ready to take a thrill ride at World of Aviation? Pretend you just flew in from New York-Kennedy, gathered your luggage, and now heading home. Take a trip to the parking garage from the terminal on the People Mover, automatic sidewalk!  Video-YouTube
