Fort Wayne International Airport (IATA: FWA, ICAO: KFWA, FAA LID: FWA) is a joint civil-military public airport located seven miles (11 km) southwest of the central business district of Fort Wayne, in Allen County, Indiana, United States. This airport is publicly owned by Fort Wayne/Allen County Airport Authority.
The airport contains one terminal, the Lieutenant Paul Baer Terminal. Passenger service is offered to five larger airline hubs of Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, and Minneapolis-Saint Paul annually serving approximately 600,000 passengers. The airport has a 600,000-square-foot (56,000 m2) air cargo center located on the southwest side. The center was occupied by Kitty Hawk Aircargo, which operated a hub and spoke operation out of Fort Wayne until October 30, 2007, shortly after the carrier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Fort Wayne International is also home to a maintenance base for Pinnacle Airlines.
