A number of new services were launched over the year from the airport, a development welcomed by Kansas City director of aviation Mark VanLoh.
"Spirit Airlines began flying here earlier this year and regional carrier SeaPort just added service to Great Bend, Kansas. American will add new nonstop service to Miami, and Southwest will add daily nonstop service to Ft. Myers in March and New York - LaGuardia in April," Mr VanLoh said.
"These additions, plus a second frequency to Seattle by Alaska Airlines, have set the stage for a banner year of air service at KCI in 2015."
