Intercollegiate athletics administrators traveling to Indianapolis to conduct business next week will arrive at a new airport terminal.

The new terminal is located at Exit 68 on I-70, just west of I-465 and will open Tuesday.

An opening ceremony will take place at 1 p.m., and the first commercial flight to land at the new terminal is scheduled for 8 p.m. The first departing flights out of the new terminal will leave the next morning.

The new location will have a parking garage that can accommodate 5,900 private cars and 1,200 rental cars. The long-term and economy surface lots located just west of the garage will have space for 11,000 cars. Shuttle buses will carry travelers from the surface lots to the new terminal.

The new airport also will feature a free “cell phone” lot, where drivers can wait for calls from travelers, then drive to the terminal to pick them up.

The new parking garage will have moving walkways on its main floor, as well as 10 elevators and eight escalators. The garage also will include the Ground Transportation Center, which will contain rental car agencies, limousine, shuttle and other transportation services.
