Indianapolis International Airport (IND) has confirmed a record-breaking year, surpassing 10 million passengers in 2024. This milestone comes as the airport recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had previously hindered its growth trajectory. In 2019, the airport handled over 9.5 million travelers, but numbers fell to just over four million in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Since then, IND has steadily increased its passenger numbers, reaching 7.2 million in 2021, 8.7 million in 2022, and 9.8 million in 2023. This year marks the first time the airport has exceeded ten million passengers within a calendar year.

Marsha Wurster, Senior Director of Commercial Enterprise at IND, noted: "On top of seasonal travel peaks, IND has welcomed a resurgence of leisure and business travel since the pandemic and benefited from intentional efforts connecting the needs of our community, corporate and airline partners with demonstrated demand and strength of our local economy."

The growth at Indianapolis International Airport is attributed to various factors including major events such as the NBA All-Star game and Indy 500 in early 2024. Other events like Spring Break and Memorial Day also contributed to this surge. The summer months saw record-breaking traffic with significant events like the US Olympic Swim Trials and NASCAR Brickyard 400 boosting numbers further.

Although Hurricane Milton impacted October's figures slightly, passenger traffic remained strong towards the year's end with Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concerts and Thanksgiving contributing to high numbers.

Data from Cirium shows that Indianapolis International Airport scheduled nearly 98,000 passenger flights for this year offering almost thirteen million seats. American Airlines led with over twenty-eight thousand flights while Southwest offered more than three point six million seats.

In December alone, there are nearly eight thousand flights scheduled at IND—a rise compared to last December—indicating continued growth into next year.
