Passenger counts lag as Garden City airport seeks more funding
Garden City Regional Airport struggles to reach the 10,000 annual enplanements needed for about 1 million in federal funding. Enplanements total just over 2,100 through March, with expectations near 8,500 this year due to loss of a daily Kansas City round trip. Officials blame reduced Kansas City traffic after Great Lakes Aviation cut service and argue a Denver link remains viable for business travelers.
