The ISASP represents a mature network of strategically developed facilities throughout the state and provides all Hoosiers with reasonably accessible and practical air transportation. With airports’ locations generally set, the current focus for the Plan is on utility and maintenance. Specific challenges exist where smaller general aviation (GA) airports attempt to serve larger corporate aircraft as their communities bid to attract new business and jobs. Additionally, general challenges exist for all ISASP airports as they strive to stay current with advances in technology and navigation. These challenges must be met in order to maintain an equal playing field with other states seeking to lure away business.

Although increasing utility and advancing technology are large hurdles, the greatest challenge by far is protecting and preserving this successful and mature system of 69 airports and 100 miles of runway.

The preservation and advancement of ISASP airports, so they can continue to meet aviation demand, is an expensive endeavor. Funding needs for runways, taxiways, terminal buildings, and hangars far out-pace available capital. New planning and environmental requirements are additional drains on already limited funds. While Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds provide the greatest source of aid for the ISASP, shortfalls still exist on all levels.

Encourage development of pavement maintenance management systems at all system airports.

Foster airspace zoning for all airport categories; where hurdles exist to implement zoning, encourage coordination between airport boards and zoning boards for airport manager review of building requests near airports and within flight paths.

Encourage compatible land use near airports.

Document five-year airport development needs annually.

Assist in the periodic update of an airport economic impact study.

Pursue relationships that support aviation awareness programs and outreach opportunities.

Utilize AIP funds to perform appropriate planning projects and encourage airports to update airport layout plans (ALPs) older than 10 years.

Maintain pavement condition index (PCI) within 5 points of minimum service level appropriate for the primary runway.

Enforce Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) minimum standards for airports and encourage applicable FAA standards.

Support instrument approach enhancements for airports that do not meet recommended minimums for their respective airport category.

While there are more than 115 public-use airports in the state, the Indiana State Aviation System Plan (ISASP) is the framework for developing 69 of those that have been identified as having state significance. The mission for these system-plan airports is to provide Indiana’s population and businesses with reasonably convenient access to air transportation. With an economic output of more than $14 billion and the added benefit of creating or sustaining 69,000 jobs, the system provides for the movement of people and goods to anywhere in the world. The ISASP includes airport categorization criteria, aviation activity forecasts, and systemwide development cost estimates and is founded on seven core principles.

1: Maintain safety & security standards

2: Preserve the existing system

3: Protect airport airspace

4: Support & encourage revenue-generating projects

5: Encourage development that further enhances the economy

6: Consider environmental impacts of development

7: Meet aviation demands of today while also preparing for future changes and industry advancements
