Southwest Airlines to add non-stop flight from Indianapolis to Nashville

INDIANAPOLIS — Southwest Airlines will soon be connecting Indianapolis travelers directly to the Music City capital of the world.

The airline will begin a daily non-stop flight from the Indianapolis airport to Nashville, Tennessee on March 6, 2025.

Airport officials say they have been working on connecting Indianapolis and Nashville through a non-stop flight for seven years. It will now launch just in time for the Spring Break travel season and run daily year-round.

An Indianapolis International Airport staff member says community leaders were able to convince Southwest of the need, saying Hoosiers were driving to Nashville because it was quicker than taking a flight with a connection.

Southwest flies non-stop out of Indianapolis to the following locations:

• Atlanta
• Austin
• Baltimore
• Cancun
• Dallas-Love
• Denver
• Panama City
• Ft. Lauderdale
• Houston-Hobby
• Las Vegas
• Kansas City
• Orlando
• Miami
• Phoenix
• Ft. Myers
