United has demonstrated a willingness to work with Wichita Mid-Continent Airport (ICT) to alleviate the fare differential between Kansas City and Wichita. These fare reductions are significant and it is hoped that travelers in the ICT catchment area will take advantage of United Airlines’ service in Wichita. United will closely monitor the bookings in response to the fares. If passengers support this service, further fare reductions could possibly become a reality. With the added costs of driving to Kansas City and back, these fares will hopefully make Wichita the more attractive option.
"We are extremely thrilled that United has worked with us in lowering these fares to Chicago, which is one of Wichita's top destinations for our travelers. These new fares help make Mid-Continent more affordable and more competitive in the region," stated Victor White, Director of Airports.
