Eisenhower Airport celebrates 10-year milestone
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Time flies. Wichita's Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport marked 10 years since the opening of its 'new' terminal on Wednesday with a celebration that looked back on a decade of growth—and ahead to what's next. The event, held in the terminal mezzanine, also included the unveiling of a bronze maquette of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a scaled version of the full statue that stands in the U.S. Capitol. 'Today we celebrate 10 years of the quote-unquote 'new terminal,'' Valerie Wise, the Air Service and Marketing Manager, said. 'Seems like it's still new, but 10 years old now—it's gone fast. We've seen a lot of progress in the last 10 years, with seven new nonstop destinations. We've had record traffic in 2024, so we've seen a lot of progress despite the many challenges we've had to deal with over the past decade.' Wise, who has been with the airport for 31 years, reflected on the terminal's opening as a career highlight. 'Definitely, the opening of the terminal was the biggest event,' she said. 'We had four grand opening events in nine days, so I'll never forget that. Whenever we add a new service, it's a big deal, and we always have a fun inaugural event—those I'll never forget.' Looking ahead, airport officials anticipate future growth to match rising demand. Wise noted several potential expansions, including additional ticketing areas, parking facilities, and possibly more nonstop flights. Sedgwick County Zoo welcomes third baby elephant 'Our parking might need additional areas, especially the garage. So, growing pains is basically what that is,' she said. 'I do expect us to add more nonstop destinations, which will be great for our region.' She added that new developments in Wichita—such as the proposed downtown biomedical campus—could help drive demand for more air service. 'The developments going on in downtown Wichita, like the biomedical facility, are going to be huge—a game changer for us,' Wise said. 'We need to talk to airlines about all the development projects going on, and those things should add more service to this region.' Wise said she's currently working on attracting new destinations that may take a few years to come to fruition, but she remains optimistic. 'I've enjoyed it very much,' she said. 'I'm working on destinations now that probably won't happen for maybe another two years, but that's OK.' For more Kansas news, click here.

$2.3M to boost digital skills across Kansas
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) — Whether it's learning how to apply for jobs online, navigate internet safety, or manage a small business digitally, nearly 50,000 Kansans will soon have access to free training aimed at boosting their digital confidence and career readiness. Governor Laura Kelly announced $2.3 million in funding for 13 community initiatives through the Digital Opportunities to Connect Kansans (DOCK) program, aimed at helping residents better utilize high-speed internet and digital tools. Crews working to repair Haysville sinkhole after heavy rain 'Community organizations across Kansas will use this funding to create immediate opportunities for those aiming to increase digital skills and knowledge,' Kelly said in a statement. 'The DOCK program reinforces my administration's commitment to empowering Kansans and meeting the evolving needs of today's workforce.' Programs will vary by region. In Cowley County, Eagle Nest will offer digital training to justice-involved women and survivors of domestic violence. In Liberal, parents will get help navigating internet safety and monitoring their children's online use. In northwest Kansas, small business owners will learn how to protect data and reduce cyber threats. Lieutenant Governor and Commerce Secretary David Toland said the initiative is about more than access to technology—it's about helping Kansans use it to move forward. 'In today's economy, workforce development starts with access to digital tools and training,' Toland said in a statement. 'Whether they're applying for jobs, launching businesses, or advancing their careers, people need these skills to succeed.' The program is led by the Kansas Office of Broadband Development and will reach all 105 counties. A full list of award recipients is available here. For more Kansas news, click here.

Wichita player quietly claims $1M lottery prize
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Someone in Wichita is kicking off summer $1 million richer. The winner of the Kansas Lottery's Holiday Millionaire Raffle quietly claimed their $1 million prize in late May—months after the winning numbers were announced in January. The ticket was sold at the QuikTrip at 1620 S. Webb Rd. The winner has chosen to remain anonymous. Should Evergy raise costs for Kansas customers? They're not the only Kansan hitting it big. A $1 million Powerball ticket was recently claimed in Salina. That ticket was sold at Casey's General Store at 1100 E. Iron Ave. Like the Wichita winner, the Salina player is staying out of the spotlight. The Kansas Lottery says both wins are part of a recent streak of major prizes across the state, including several $20,000 Lotto America winners in May. For more Kansas news, click here.
