Nice to see Kansas' sole major airport hanging on to its prized LCC service. I see that a new, modern terminal project is soon to be underway - good for ICT! Kansas seems to be doing quite well in terms of air service, what with MHK getting AE regional jet service to DFW and ICT keeping its LAX link via Allegiant in addition to the maintenance of ATL service on FL. Now I'm sure USX to CLT or COEX to EWR would be a stretch, but would such flights be at all plausible? After all, I sure didn't think uAX and DLC would launch ICT-LAX!

Does anyone know if MQ's new DFW-MHK is going to be subsidized by any local, state, or federal grants?

I'd have to think the government will help subsidize it for military use as well, since Ft. Riley is so close...

Good good. That's what I thinking. I love Manhattan. Lived there for 9 years, and I was born there. I know that there is no way in hell those flights will survive without a subsidy.  yes

Well, from what I've heard, out of state students are really digging the new service starting in August. I know a good thirty people that are taking the flight within the first week...

Those of you who live in  Manhattan,  Kansas, may not appreciate the significance of this news, but if you live in New York’s Manhattan, you most certainly will. Because in the Big Apple, just getting to the airport (much less to your final destination) can be a chore. But not anymore: US Helicopter just introduced hourly flights (running Monday through Friday from seven a.m. to seven p.m.) that will get you from the Downtown Manhattan heliport near  Wall Street to JFK Airport in just eight minutes. (Service to LaGuardia and  Newark airports is planned for later this year.) Even better, you check your bags and go through security at the heliport, then land at an  American Airlines gate with fast, secure access to your actual departure gate. The process couldn’t be easier or faster — or feature a better view, come to think of it. And all of this for roughly the same price as an airport limo.

hahaha. that's ridiculous (the route map)

so proud. family of arab friends (used to live in mhk/ksu grad students, now in dallas) were vacationing in manhattan (seriously)

they actually drove to the airport they were so excited about the new AA service. i am not alone!!!

[EmporiaWildcat]

AA starts service one month and two days.  I fully expect a steady stream of bad a$$ linebackers from the Lone Star State to end up wearing purple in MHK.
