South Bend International Airport

South Bend International sits at the intersection of two consistent private aviation markets: Notre Dame football weekends and corporate traffic for the manufacturing and medical device companies concentrated in northern Indiana. During home game weekends, the ramp fills quickly. If you are flying in for a Notre Dame game, coordinate your arrival and departure times with your FBO well in advance.

The airport has no slot restrictions and no commercial congestion to compete with. Runway 9L/27R runs 8,400 feet, which handles heavy cabin jets without restriction. The facility operates around the clock. FBO services are available on the field, with Million Air as the primary fixed-base operator offering fuel, ramp handling, and a passenger lounge.

The Notre Dame campus is roughly 4 miles north of the terminal, a 10-minute drive. Downtown South Bend is about 5 miles away. Chicago is 90 miles west via I-90/I-94, typically 1.5 to 2 hours depending on traffic near the Illinois state line. Indianapolis is approximately 150 miles south, about 2.5 hours. Car service and rental cars are available on the field. There is no helicopter transfer service at this airport.
