Located inside security on Concourse A, the new 4,800-square-foot Indianapolis Sky Club is the first and only premium airport lounge for business travelers in the state of Indiana. Available to Delta Sky Club members and their guests, the club offers complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks and Wi-Fi, wireless charging pads for smartphones, as well as personalized flight assistance, satellite TV and computer workstation access.

"This new Delta Sky Club reflects our commitment to improve the travel experience across our global network with the first airport lounge to serve premium customers in Indianapolis," said Bob Cortelyou, Delta's senior vice president – Network Planning. "From Indiana to India to every point across our network, we are betting big on customer service with the biggest re-investment in airports, products and technology for our customers in more than a decade."

The Indianapolis club design features sleek furnishings and contemporary aerial landscape art, depicting regional Indiana views seen from an airplane window seat. These elements will be replicated in new clubs scheduled to open later this year in Philadelphia and Seattle, as well as in renovations currently under way at other existing lounges.
