Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Permanent Closure; Indianapolis Downtown Heliport,
Indianapolis, Indiana
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) received written
notice from the Indianapolis Airport Authority on August 12, 2025 that
it will permanently close the Indianapolis Downtown Heliport (8A4),
Indianapolis, IN on December 15, 2025. The notice was in excess of 30
days before the closure in accordance with federal law.
DATES: The permanent closure of the heliport is effective as of
December 15, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Debra L. Bartell, Acting Deputy
Director, Airports Division, Great Lakes Region, (847) 294-7272.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 8A4 is a 5.36 acre, non-towered, heliport
that is listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems
(NPIAS). The Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) has been the
recipient of grant funding from the FAA at 8A4 in the past. On November
25, 2024, the FAA issued a letter of intent to release IAA of its
Federal obligations at 8A4 and authorize closure of the Heliport.
Section 46319 of Title 49 of the United States Code [49 U.S.C. 46319]
provides that a public agency (as defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102) may not
permanently close an airport listed in the NPIAS under 49 U.S.C. 47103
without providing written notice to the Administrator of the FAA at
least 30 days before the date of closure. The FAA recognized the letter
received August 12, 2025, from IAA meets that requirement and is
publishing IAA's notice of permanent closure of the Indianapolis
Downtown Heliport in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 46319(b). The FAA will
release IAA of its Federal obligations at 8A4 once all required actions
as outlined in the November 25, 2024 letter have been completed.
Issued in Des Plaines, IL, on November 5, 2025.
James Gregory Keefer,
Acting Director, Airports Division, Great Lakes Region.
