WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Most travelers prefer nonstop flights to get to their destinations, depending on cost. Wichita Eisenhower National Airport offers 11 year-round nonstop flights and five seasonal ones.
On Friday, Wichita’s Director of Airports Jesse Romo named five additional routes the city is trying to get: New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and Charlotte.
“Charlotte is amazingly the third largest hub in the world, and that is a huge American hub that’s been growing, so that is one that we’ve got our eye on that we continuously talk to Americans about,” he said.
He said businesses have indicated New York is one of the targets they want to see next.
“There might be more opportunity in Newark vs. a JFK just because of slot restrictions with airlines,” Romo said. “It depends on who’s growing. United’s got the biggest hub, but they’re really not going to grow it this year.”
