Kansas City will shortly celebrate its 30th consecutive month of year-on-year traffic gains thanks to a growing local network and airlines boosting capacity in existing markets. This will help drive annual passenger traffic beyond 11 million for 2016, up from 10.5 million last year. The new Austin flight, Southwest’s fourth destination in Texas from the airport after the launch of a San Antonio service at the start of the month, brings the number of non-stop markets served from Kansas City to 47.

Alongside Southwest’s new daily link to San Antonio which launched from November 6, 2016, other recent new services have included a twice weekly Allegiant Air flight to Las Vegas from October 20, 2016, a daily Spirit Airlines flight to Orlando from November 10, 2016, while Delta Air Lines will introduce a weekly flight to Cancun, Mexico from December 17, 2016.
