For most of 2006 and 2007, Wichita Mid-Continent Airport has continually broken previous passenger traffic records. Since the airport has started undergoing renovations, passengers have been steadily increasing. Currently the average yearly passenger count is at a little more than two million, but projections are that by the time the airport redesign is finished close to three million passengers will use the airport. When all is said and done in 2011 the airport should have three huge parking areas located in front of the main terminal. The main terminal will be a long rectangle that is connected to one concourse that has ten modern gates, easily accessible life support systems, and far more stores and restaurants. This will help increase the airport's efficiency and keep passengers happy during long layovers or airport delays.

The airport is the largest airport in Kansas and sits approximately six miles from Wichita's downtown. Easily accessible from many of the area's main highways, drivers shouldn't have a hard time reaching the airport and the parking lots.

There are a few items which passengers might find unusual. First, Wichita Mid-Continent Airport does not offer weekly or monthly parking rates. Also, passengers who forget to pack certain items in Ziploc bags need not worry, the airport keeps them on hand for passengers to use. Complimentary travel slippers are also available. Smoking is not allowed in the main terminal or any of the gates. Those who need a cigarette before or after a flight must go outside away from the main terminal and all public areas.
