Deborah Shaar

On Thursday, Mayor Jeff Longwell announced that Wichita Eisenhower National Airport's new terminal is scheduled to open on June 3.

He also mentioned that the new airport parking lot, as well as the rental car center, will be open to the public next Wednesday.

“The new terminal and the addition of the new Parking Garage and Rental Car Center represent a significant improvement for travelers and other customers visiting Eisenhower Airport,” Longwell says.

Both projects were funded with airport-generated revenue and according to Longwell, Wichita has needed these facilities for a long time.

"We’re very excited that construction is nearly complete," he says. "The new terminal project is the airline gateway to our state. It will serve as a first and last impression for many visitors to our region and it reinforces Wichita’s global status as the Air Capital of the World.”
