1933–2014 · one field, six names
Every name the one field has carried, in order, from the airport's own history: Bendix Municipal Airport → Bendix Field – St. Joseph County Airport → Michiana Regional Airport → Michiana Regional Transportation Center → South Bend Regional Airport (from 1 January 2000) → South Bend International Airport (from 23 April 2014). Six names, one field, the runways of Bendix's 1929 purchase under all of them. The "International" step is printed as a build and a working fact, not only a renaming: the name was taken on 23 April 2014, and the first international commercial flight followed in 2019, a Liverpool FC Boeing 747 charter for the Notre Dame match. The customs facility's own construction and designation dates — the physical build behind the name — were not retrieved from open sources. Named gap (in part): the customs facility dates. Their settling sources are the Airport Authority's minutes and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection port-designation record for SBN.
