DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Like all US airports, passenger levels at Eisenhower National were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Airline traffic in 2020 decreased 55% from the all-time record high in 2019. This decrease was less than the drop-off in traffic at the surrounding airports in Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Arkansas. Traffic at ICT has rebounded and 2023 passengers were at 98% of 2019.
Over 50% of the Airport’s revenues are activity based so diligent management of expenses is necessary while addressing the impact on airline rates and charges. Airline fees have been held to the same or slightly less levels than in the previous year due to strategic management of operating and capital expenses during the pandemic year.
Many important capital projects are underway or in the planning stages to sustain Wichita’s Airport System. Continuous improvement to Wichita’s airports make them attractive for businesses, cargo services, and commercial ventures. Staff and its business partners in the community will continue to pursue opportunities to promote airport services and attract new businesses, flights, and services to Wichita’s airports to aid in the recovery process.
Challenges for the Airport System in the near future include financial and operational recovery from the pandemic’s impacts, managing a very dynamic airline route structure due to changes in travel patterns of business and leisure passengers due to Covid-19, the changing nature of industrial park real estate activity, and the continued competition by other states and communities to attract Wichita’s aerospace industry.THE POSITION
