Olathe resident Alison Pfeifer said the improved performance makes a big difference for families traveling with children.

“Everybody’s been showing up, which is awesome,” Pfeifer said. “We appreciate that, and it helps families, especially with little ones, not have to worry about being in an airport for hours upon hours.”
