Southwest, which occupies all of Terminal 2, begins flights Tuesday to Wichita, Kan., and to Des Moines, Iowa — new nonstop destinations from Lambert — as well as year-round service to Seattle.
Gates E31 and E33 initially are expected to handle 12 flights a day between them, a number expected to grow to 16 in June when Southwest adds flights to Oakland, Calif., Cleveland and Portland, Ore.
And Lambert is on a short list to get flights to London on British Airways and to Frankfurt, Germany, on Lufthansa.
