Wichita Mid-Continent Airport (IATA: ICT, ICAO: KICT) is a commercial airport located in southwest Wichita, in Sedgwick County, Kansas, USA. It is the busiest airport in the state of Kansas (The larger Kansas City International Airport is located in Missouri). In 2008, passenger traffic continued to grow despite increased fuel prices and economic troubles, with 1,615,075 passengers passing through the airport. History
Wichita Mid-Continent Airport was first conceived in 1951 when the United States Air Force brought legal proceedings to condemn and acquire the Wichita Municipal Airport for what was to become McConnell Air Force Base. Wichita's park board quickly acquired 1,923 acres (7.8 km²) of land in southwest Wichita and the construction of a new "Wichita Municipal Airport" took about three and a half years. The new airport was dedicated on October 31, 1954, and was renamed Wichita Mid-Continent Airport in 1973 after Kansas City renamed its Mid-Continent Airport to Kansas City International Airport.
The airport's ICT designation is actually an abbreviation for Wichita. At the time the Federal Communications Commission prohibited airports to have radio call signs starting with "K" or "W." Naming conventions of the time then called for the second letter of the city to be used and then use any phonetics to make it easier to identify. Similarly, Kansas City could not get a KCI designation when it renamed its Mid-Continent International Airport to Kansas City International Airport in 1972 (and thus Kansas City still has MCI as its designation). Further, the IATA is very reluctant to change designations once they appear on navigational maps.
Current Airport Passenger Terminal
The current airport has one terminal with a total of twelve (12) boarding gates on two connected concourses: the East Concourse houses Gates 1 through 6 and the West Concourse houses Gates 7 through 12. Gate 9 is a non functioning gate and is not fully operational, or used by any air carrier at this time. Gate 9 has not been utilized for several years, due to its much smaller size (capacity) and lack of boarding bridge. The gate hold area was converted into a sports bar in 2007. Currently 11 gates are used, on a daily basis, at Mid-Continent Airport. Gates 4,7, 8, 9 and 11 do not have boarding bridges (aka:jet bridge), passengers must walk outside of the airport terminal on the Tarmac to board or de-plane departing or arriving aircraft.
New Mid-Continent Terminal Information
The new terminal building will be located immediately west of the existing terminal. The new two-story, 272,000 sq ft (25,300 m). terminal will be a state-of-the-art modern architectural design expressing flight and Wichita’s globally-prominent position in the aviation industry. Special aviation themed exhibits will be an integral element in the terminal’s design. Major elements of the project include:
- New terminal roadway and covered curb with separate lanes for private and commercial vehicles.
- Terminal building with enlarged ticketing and baggage claim on the main entry level.
- Upper level concourse with departure lounges, concessions and expanded passenger security screening.
- 12 boarding gates, each equipped with a passenger boarding bridge. Up to 16 boarding bridges in total.
- Passenger baggage handling systems with inline explosives detection security screening.
- Enhanced pre-security and post-security concessions and passenger services.
- Consolidated Rental Car service counters, plus close-in parking and car return located in the covered garage.
- Covered daily, short and long term parking in a multi-level garage directly across from the new terminal.
- Short-term and long-term public parking plus a new expanded Park & Ride shuttle parking lot.
- Parking with a total of at least 3,000 spaces.
- New communications, life safety and security systems.
- New aircraft apron to accommodate the relocated terminal and gates.
Construction began in late Summer 2009, with a completion date estimated for early (first quarter) 2014. Portions of the existing terminal will be demolished (in stages) as the new terminal becomes fully operational. A flyover of the new terminal can be found on the Airport's website.
