Default Most Common FEDEX T/O Direction at IND

Hello FEDEX IND flyers,

I'm on the DAL ALPA hotel committee and we are looking at our IND airport layovers.

I'm curious if those who fly out of IND regularly could tell me which runway direction (5 or 23) is the most common for your early AM departure bank.

Or, is there not a predominant wind direction and both are used roughly the same?

Thanks very much,

Tom

I'm NOT an IND frequent flyer but ... I'd guess we land on 5R and depart on 23L most often (at least on the real man's DC-10/MD-11)

Mayday is correct. Unless the winds won't permit it, we arrive on the 5's and take-off on the 23's. Most of our layovers are downtown although we do have some shorter layovers and I think standbys at some of the airport hotels.

One of our airport hotels is the Crown Plaza, we usually get the rooms offset from the Rwy's and the hotel seems to be insulated fairly well since I've never experienced a problem sleeping through the AM arrival\departure push
