Re: Indianapolis Aviation - 2024

I still think IND-STL would be a good add.

STL is positioned perfectly for connecting traffic to ICT OKC TUL ect.

All other airlines you have to go up to ORD DTW or down to DFW ATL. STL would be no back tracking.

I thought Southwest would add STL before BNA.

Maybe Southwest thinks they can get a lot of Florida connecting traffic
