Amelia Earhart Terminal at Purdue University Airport Celebrates One Year of Growth and Connection

Having a real airport option close to home isn't something you think about much until you actually need it, and this one-year update makes a strong case for keeping it around. Racking up more than a thousand flights and nearly 28,000 passengers in just twelve months is a solid sign that people actually wanted this option, not just city officials hoping it would take off. If you've ever dreaded the drive to Indianapolis or Chicago for a flight, you can probably imagine how nice it feels to skip that trip entirely. Momentum like the bookings already lined up through the end of the year suggests this isn't just a temporary novelty either. It's easy to take small conveniences like this for granted once they've been around a while, but a year in, the Amelia Earhart Terminal is still worth appreciating.
