Mid-Continent Airport (ICT) has added yet another amenity to make your air travel experience “a breeze.”  The next time you need to pick up guests arriving at ICT, use the airport's new Cell Phone Waiting Lot.

Pull your car into one of the 16 spaces and wait for your guests to call your cell phone to let you know they have claimed their bags and are ready to be picked up at the terminal.  The new Cell Phone Waiting Lot is located off Mid-Continent Drive at the Park & Ride Lot exit, about one minute's drive from the terminal.

"Wichita Mid-Continent Airport is pleased to open this convenient lot, at no charge to users, as we approach the busy summer travel season," Victor White, Airport Director said. "During most of our arrival periods, it is simply not possible to allow vehicles to idle curbside.  This has caused quite a bit of congestion in front of the terminal building. The new Cell Phone Waiting Lot offers an attractive solution to relieve that congestion.”

While there is no charge to use the lot, vehicles must be attended at all times, there is a one-hour limit, and drivers are encouraged to turn off vehicles when temperatures permit. 

The Cell Phone Waiting Lot is another reason why Wichita Mid-Continent Airport is convenient, friendly and affordable.
