A high pressure compressor section of a gas turbine engine including: an inner case separating a core flow path of the gas turbine engine and a plenum formed between the inner case and an outer case; a bleed port located on an inner surface of the inner case, the inner surface being proximate the core flow path; an outlet located on an outer surface of the inner case, the outer surface being proximate the plenum; and a bleed air passageway passing through the inner case to fluidly connect the bleed port to the outlet, wherein the bleed air passageway is fluidly connected to the core flow path through the bleed port and the bleed air passageway is fluidly connected to the plenum through the outlet.
