A large crowd gathered at the Salina Regional Airport's M.J. Kennedy Air Terminal on September 8, 2016 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the devastating terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Great Lakes Airlines has brought the Denver International Airport (DEN), www.flydenver.com, closer to Salina and North Central Kansas residents. With a 1 hour and 15 minute, nonstop flight Salina passengers arrive at the nation's 5th busiest commercial airport. DEN offers travelers connections to 1,550 daily scheduled flights to more than 180 nonstop destinations. DEN is an exceptional connecting hub that offers travelers the best in food service, shopping and amenities while at the airport.

Great Lakes Airlines now offers a $148 round trip fare for flights between the Salina Regional Airport and the Denver International Airport. The new fare makes a flight to Denver far more attractive than a long drive to the Mile High City.

Finally, on June 15 Great Lakes Airlines will start nonstop flights to the Denver International Airport from the Salina Regional Airport in the airline's 30 passenger Embraer Brasilia regional aircraft. The flights will connect Salina area residents, businesses, medical facilities, nonprofits and universities to one of the nation's top air carrier hubs. That means nonstop connections to over 180 destinations. Great Lakes is a United Airlines codeshare partner and also has interline agreements with American and Delta. This all adds up to greater ease and comfort in scheduling air travel to and from Salina.
