The downturn in airline travel amid the coronavirus pandemic could lead to years of decreased flights to fewer destinations from Kansas airports.
A report shows the number of passengers who boarded flights at Dwight D. Eisenhower Airport in Wichita this year has dropped 57% compared to 2019.
At its lowest point in April there was a day when only 63 people flew out of the airport. Normally, the airport sees about 2,300 passengers a day, and a lot more during peak travel seasons.
Boardings from Manhattan Regional Airport are down 56%.
