## Description

Around 2 a.m. the ramp at Indianapolis turns purple and orange: FedEx Express runs its second-largest hub in the world here, the engine behind roughly one million tonnes of annual cargo that places IND among America's top ten freight airports. Dozens of FedEx freighters converge nightly while thousands of sorters process the Midwest's and East Coast's shipments. The passenger side serves close to ten million travelers with flights to every major domestic hub from the 2008 midfield terminal – the first all-new US airport built after 9/11. The ground game seals the argument: Indianapolis bills itself as the "Crossroads of America," with more interstate connections than any other US city – I-65, I-70, I-69 and I-74 all converge here – feeding a dense belt of distribution centers around the field. For Midwest express freight, IND is unavoidable; conventional belly cargo plays a supporting role at best.
