But it's reasonably user-friendly and functional. Exploration Place we don't need at the airport. Lower fares we do need. City leaders just don't seem to get it. This festering problem, if not fixed, will prevent the Wichita community from realizing its full and proper potential.
Nobody seems to be trying very hard to fix it.
Forget the leisure class for a moment. The damage that high airfares are doing to local businesses is now beyond debate. The stories are endless, some of them played out in letters to the editor, many more spewed out at local watering holes or muttered in conference rooms and offices. We didn't even make a decent pass at two start-up airlines, SunWest and AccessAir, when they tried to make Wichita their home base three years ago. Which leads to point three.
