GREENWOOD, Ind. — The City of Greenwood announced Thursday that Indy South Greenwood Airport has been named the 2022 Airport of the Year by Aviation Indiana. The honor recognizes efforts in economic development, aviation education, community outreach, airport promotion, safety and security, environmental improvements and aesthetics, and more.
Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers said, “Our airport allows business leaders and pilots to regularly fly to here with easy access to central Indiana. Having an award-winning airport is not something we take for granted.”
The airport sees 28,000 aircraft operations annually, having more than $15 million in economic impact on the area while charging no landing or ramp fees or receiving any tax-base operations support.
The city plans to break ground on a ramp expansion project to be completed by 2024. A significant addition to the airport in 2022 was the opening of BOLDAviation’s maintenance facility, allowing airport tenants and businesses to have work performed on-site instead of flying to other facilities.
Indy South Greenwood Airport also houses many businesses and organizations including three flight schools, two aircraft sales operations, maintenance services, a charter business, the Greenwood chapter of the EAA, Civil Air Patrol, and Indiana State Police Special Operations.
