South Bend International Airport (IATA: SBN, ICAO: KSBN, FAA LID: SBN) is three miles northwest of South Bend, in St. Joseph County, Indiana, United States. Formerly South Bend Regional Airport, it is the state's third busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic after Indianapolis International Airport and Fort Wayne International Airport.
The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2015–2019 called it a primary commercial service facility.
Federal Aviation Administration and St. Joseph County Airport Authority records show the airport had 328,992 passenger enplanements in 2013, 311,158 in 2014, and 314,300 in 2015,
In the early days South Bend's main airport was Cadet Field in present-day Granger. Vincent Hugo Bendix, founder of Bendix Aviation, bought land northwest of South Bend to provide air service closer to the city. Bendix Field opened in 1933.
Bendix Field was later called St. Joseph County Airport, then Michiana Regional Transportation Center. The airport was renamed South Bend Regional Airport on January 1, 2000, to help identify the airport, many travelers not knowing the meaning of Michiana (taken from Michigan and Indiana).
The April 1957 OAG shows 10 weekday departures on North Central, 9 on United, 6 on Lake Central and 3 on TWA. North Central Airlines merged with Southern Airways on July 1, 1979, commencing operations with Republic from South Bend.
