New Wichita airport terminal to open next month

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new terminal at Wichita Eisenhower National Airport will open June 3.

City and airport officials announced Thursday that the first airplane will leave from the new $160 million terminal at 5 a.m. June 3, and the first airplane is scheduled to arrive about 9:45 a.m. that day. The old terminal will be closed after the final flight arrives about midnight June 2.

A $40 million parking garage with 1,200 stalls will open May 27, as will a rental car center.

Construction of the new terminal and parking garage was funded through federal grants and surplus airport revenue and fees and did not involve any local tax money.
