per year. The terminal is slated to be
the largest LEED-certified building in
the Midwest. It includes a 25,000 square-foot space — the Civic Plaza — with
100-foot glass windows overlooking the
runways and offering views of the city’s
skyline, available for meeting planners as
a space for special events and receptions. More than 50 retailers and restaurants are located in the terminal and a
250-room hotel located at the airport
complex is expected to be developed
within five years. The new terminal is
expected to save the airlines more than
$12 million a year in fuel costs by reducing taxi time — the commute from the
airport to downtown and the Indiana
Convention Center is only 16 minutes,
and a new green line shuttle service is
available for only $7.
