Airline expands KCI service to Great Bend

SeaPort Airlines will begin non-stop service between Kansas City International Airport and Great Bend, Kan., starting Sunday.

The airline said the new service replaces current scheduled flights between Great Bend and Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport. SeaPort has had one-stop service from KCI.

“Demand for Wichita flights was weak while that for our one-stop service to Kansas City has consistently been stronger,” said Rob McKinney, president of SeaPort, based in Portland, Ore.

The new KCI-Great Bend service features two daily round-trip flights on Monday and Friday, and one round-trip flight on both Saturday and Sunday.
