US Airways discontinuing service to ICT
For any of you who fly to ICT (there can't be that many), US is discontinuing service because the ICT-PHX route didn't make them enough money. (This was one of the top stories on the news tonight.)

Did they say when? It still shows in schedules as normal service through August 2010 (as well as available for purchase on their website).

US ICT service ending
It's sad day for ICT. ICT has been in service from PHX for a long time. It was one of 1st orginal destinations when America West was in its infancy stage. I also remember they has LAS service but that has been discountinued for a while now. I imagine US will market ICT as a codeshare operated through Star Alliance partner United (and CO) via DEN, ORD, HOU (CO).

Yes unfortunately, they didn't do it very well for short time out PHX-ICT in between 3 or 4 years. Hopefully in the future if US will be reinstates back on PHX-ICT or LAS-ICT will have to be more improved the factor. Do you know how many load factor doing out PHX-ICT lately?

I was wanting to stay one additional day, instead of just Monday-Friday, but it may be worth the savings.
