The Indiana County Jimmy Stewart Airport

will offer an off-campus, flight training school for both in-house and online learning. “They are talking through the permit and review process to have those folks set up a shop here,” he notes. “With that, Innovation Aviation is also talking about an addition to their building that would accommodate this new school, as well as an addition for a bigger fleet of aircraft.” Other plans for the Airport include constructing a new corporate hangar, and possibly an EMS facility. “There’s a local businessman who we’re talking with,” says Fuellner. “We’ve seen some plans and heard his ideas about a 100’ X 100’ corporate hangar. So, I’m excited about that. And there’s a potential for that to come into play within the next year. The EMS facility is going to be studied in our Master Plan, which we just started early this year. The process will take about another seven to ten months before we see any results, like what ground can be utilized for it, as well as where the potential funding can come from for a facility like that.”
