South Bend Airport Planning $14 Million in Improvements – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A $14 million improvement project is planned for South Bend International Airport, according to reporting by NBC affiliate WNDU-TV.
The project is designed to up the facility’s ground game.
In March of this year, something happened at the airport that hadn’t happened before. The number of passengers on flights departing South Bend surpassed 50,000 — the most ever in a single month.
“We expanded our parking back in 2020. We added a couple of hundred spots, and this is the first year we’ve had no parking,” said Patrick Mac Carthaigh, vice president of operations at South Bend International Airport. “We went into overflow parking for spring break.”
If parking lots were packed, perhaps it’s safe to assume there was room for improvement where the front drive of the terminal is concerned.
“It’s going to bring an element of calm to chaos,” Mac Carthaigh explained.
