Southwest Airlines released its flight schedule through July 10, 2023, and the carrier will restore two non-stop routes and add more daily departures from KCI starting April 2023.
The major airline will restore non-stop routes to Albuquerque and Indianapolis, after suspending both routes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to KCI Airport.
The airline will be increasing daily departures from KCI soon after the airport’s new and highly anticipated terminal opens in March. People can expect more frequent flights from Southwest as soon as April.
