Low-cost airlines and small cities

[phule]

NPR's "All Things Considered" ran a segment yesterday on Wichita, KS:

A few months ago, the terminals at Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita, Kan., were nearly empty. The high prices to fly in and out of the city were hurting businesses, and some Wichita executives were looking for other places to base their companies. Today the airport is busier -- because flights are cheaper. Tuesday on All Things Considered, hear about the system the airport is using to lure low-cost airlines.
