Indiana's Griffith-Merrillville Airport is a designated GA airport that serves as a reliever for the region's other airports.

Indiana’s Gary/Chicago International Airport (KGYY) has purchased nearby Griffith-Merrillville Airport (05C), a privately owned general aviation airfield in Lake County, for $1.8 million. The transaction—in process since late last year—was funded via KGYY’s locally generated revenue.

“We are excited to acquire this local airport and bolster our short- and long-term aviation offerings,” said GCIA Authority chairman Pete Visclosky. “This past decade of strong planning, investments, and growth of our airport has put us in a position where we can acquire this new asset, helping sustain our local aviation offerings while building for the future as well.”
