Indianapolis-based JFI Medical LLC will operate the optional testing site, which will be available to passengers traveling through the airport, as well as badged airport employees.
JFI will offer two COVID tests at a cost. The first is the PCR test for $135, which will have results provided within 24 hours. The second is a Rapid Antigen Test, which will cost $95 and have results within one hour. Both tests will also be available for $200.
“Providing onsite, optional COVID-19 testing opportunities for airport employees and our travelers is another example of our customer service in action,” Mario Rodriguez, executive director of the Indianapolis Airport Authority, said in a news release. “Throughout the pandemic, we’ve kept the health and safety of our people as the number-one priority and this optional COVID-19 testing service provides another example of how we’re getting through this together.”
The airport says the testing is not required by the airport and is not part of the Transportation Safety Administration’s security screening.
The testing site will be located in the airport terminal baggage claim area. It will be available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 4 a.m. – 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. – 8 p.m. Those wishing to be tested will need to pre-register.
