Indianapolis Airport Adds New Nonstop Flights This August

Indianapolis International Airport is adding two more non-stop travel destinations in August.

Two New Nonstop Flights Launching From Indianapolis

Flying can be hectic, and layovers and flight changes can make traveling stressful. When I fly, I much prefer to take direct, nonstop flights whenever possible. If you fly out of Indianapolis like I sometimes do, you just got two new non-stop options.

In a press release shared earlier today, the travel hub says Southwest Airlines has made its inaugural nonstop flight from Indianapolis to Chicago Midway International Airport.

Delta Launches New Route to North Carolina

In addition to the newly launched connection to Chicago, Indianapolis International Airport announced another nonstop flight option, this time aboard Delta Airlines. The carrier will begin flying directly to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

The twice-weekly flight connecting Indiana to North Carolina will begin on August 11, 2025, nearly five years after the route was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Delta nonstop flight resuming this month will give leisure and business travelers an additional option to reach the Raleigh area, the Outer Banks, and the North Carolina’s Research Triangle – offering easy access to the Southeast’s rich cultural and natural attractions.
