Southwest adds Wichita route

Southwest Airlines has begun service to Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport.

Wichita city officials said in a release that Southwest’s first flight from Chicago arrived in Wichita on Sunday afternoon. Mayor Carl Brewer says the addition of Southwest will beef up economic development efforts for the south-central Kansas city.

Southwest’s initial schedule includes two daily flights to Dallas, Chicago and one flight a day to Las Vegas.
