Fort Wayne International Airport is eight miles southwest of Fort Wayne, in Allen County, Indiana. It is owned by the Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport since it has over 10,000 passenger boardings per year. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 294,968 enplanements in calendar year 2013, 5.07% more than 2012.
The airport has one terminal, the Lieutenant Paul Baer Terminal. Passenger flights reach seven airline hubs of Atlanta, Chicago, Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and Philadelphia, along with flights to Orlando, Punta Gorda, Tampa, Phoenix, and seasonal service to Myrtle Beach. Together, flights from the airport to these twelve cities serve over 640,000 combined arriving and departing passengers per year.
The airport has a 600,000-square-foot air cargo center on the southwest side. The center was occupied by Kitty Hawk Air Cargo, which had a hub at Fort Wayne until October 30, 2007, shortly after the carrier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
