Wichita air subsidy tied to new terminal bid delay
Wichita officials say renewal of a nearly 5 million airfare subsidy is crucial to a 160 million terminal project at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport. Bids could come as early as July if the Legislature approves the subsidy, with AirTran’s potential exit affecting passenger traffic and local tax support. Southwest Airlines acquisition of AirTran adds urgency, though no decision on service post acquisition has been made.
