Wichita Mid-Continent Airport set a traffic record with 151,236 passengers in June, surpassing the previous record of 145,636 in June 2004. The record also marks an increase of 10.22% over June 2006 and the ninth consecutive month that passenger traffic has increased at Mid-Continent. For the year, passenger traffic is up 6.22%.

“The rising traffic numbers are the latest example that the affordable airfare collaboration is successful,” Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer said. “Affordable airfares are tremendously important to the local and state economy.”

“It’s great to see more people taking advantage of the fine air service offered at Mid-Continent,” Victor White, Director of Airports, said. “This is monumental and promising. With non-stop service to Los Angeles starting this month and Frontier’s low-fare service coming in October 2007, the future looks even brighter. This is gearing up to be a great year at the Wichita airport.”
