Indianapolis airport officials are considering building a smaller version of FedEx’s 2-million-square-foot hub here, one
that could accommodate several cargo carriers from around the globe. The “international air cargo facility” could be up to
several hundred thousand square feet large and could cost tens of millions of dollars to build.
Three developers are vying for the chance to build a four-story, 250- to 300-room hotel connected to the new $974 million midfield terminal and garage at the Indianapolis International Airport.
A NASA database shows how airfield mistakes that contributed to a runway crash at a Kentucky airport also occur here, although the number of "surface incidents" has declined in recent years, thanks largely to improvements to taxiways.
The Indianapolis Airport Authority has begun listing at www.indianapolisairport.com homes it acquired under its nearly decade-old “purchase assurance/sound insulation program.”
