Purdue University Airport Commercial Flight Promotion

SUMMARY

Beginning May 15, 2024, commercial flight will return to the Greater Lafayette area. The Purdue University Airport (LAF) is your local connection to the world, offering 24 weekly round-trip flights from West Lafayette to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and over 240 available connecting destinations. As Indiana’s second-busiest airport in terms of total annual aircraft operations, we are building upon Purdue’s nearly 100-year legacy in aviation excellence to offer commercial flights between LAF and ORD seven days a week.  

This new option for Greater Lafayette residents opens a gateway to the world — travelers can fly anywhere from  O’Hare via the Purdue University Airport.
