Airport Sinks for Muslim Cabbies

[lizbud]

An airport isn't a governmental function, though - they're businesses hired by the airlines (via airport fees) to give them a place to pick up & drop off passengers. They can have Bible shops, Buddha statues, Flying Spaghetti Monster mosaics, whatever they want to do to attract airlines whose passengers might appreciate the services and atmosphere they offer.

As LH already stated, it is a governmental function.

INDIANAPOLIS AIRPORT AUTHORITY


Established as a municipal corporation by the General Assembly in 1962, the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) is responsible for owning, developing and operating six airport facilities in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The IAA is governed by a board of eight voting members appointed by the Mayor of Indianapolis and officials from Marion and Hendricks counties. The board also has three non-voting members representing Hamilton, Hancock and Morgan counties. IAA facilities include Indianapolis International, Metropolitan, Mt. Comfort, Eagle Creek and Hendricks County Airport - Gordon Graham Field airports and the Downtown Heliport. Indianapolis International Airport is served by 11 major and 19 national passenger airlines.


I'm thinking this would be just the first of many accommodations. first the
airport, then private businesses, schools,etc, etc. Just doesn't seem right
to me.

Liz, do you know what the population is of Indianapolis and how many Muslems we talking about?

I ask, because I do not know. Are these sinks being built for say 50 men (cabbies) vs 100,000?

Just curious.

Well there are approximately 100 Muslem cabbies in Indianapolis , but I don't know how many state wide.

Population of Indy is approx 784,118 ( stats from 2005)

Thanks, Liz.

This isn't a question - just my thoughts.................

I wonder how many handicapped bathroom stalls are available in the same airport for those who need them - and on average - how many handicapped might go through the airport on any given day.

For the record?


I have a laugh, not at anyone, today.

My job took to the San Diego area and in Oceanside, right off of the Interstate, is a chapel facing the freeway.

It's white, has a cross on it and has been there for years....I remember it as a kid.

It is around Camp Pendleton, but I am not sure of the actual relation to the base.


THanks for the smile and reminding me that I have to post more often!


P.S. I didn't see anything happening on the inside!

Do you know Liz, if, like O'Hare, the Indy airport already has accomodations for religion observations (i.e. a chapel)?

This was my point before it got hijacked?

As far as I know, we do not have a chapel at the airport. The only
infomation I found about it mentioned a "make-shift" chapel of sorts
that can be changed around to suit any religion.
