OCCK is continuing to provide a transportation option for people using the Salina Regional Airport.
The OCCK shuttle provides passengers with a safe and cost effective alternative to other options. The Salina Airport flight schedule will update Feb. 11 to include more flights.
A daily weekday shuttle service is available for passengers disembarking the mid-morning flight from Chicago. That flight is scheduled to arrive at between 11:03 - 11:20 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday each week. The OCCK Airport Shuttle Bus will be waiting at the Airport Terminal and will deliver passengers to destinations with the Salina city limits. No reservations are necessary for this shuttle. Passengers merely inform the driver of their destination. The cost to passengers for this shuttle will be $2. Exact fares will be needed as drivers are not able to make change.
Passengers can call to make transportation arrangements for other flights as well. To book reservations for transportation for any other flight, passengers would need to call OCCK Transportation at 785-826-1583, by 4 p.m. the prior day, to schedule a pick up location and time. Reservations may be made up to two weeks in advance. The cost to passengers for the transportation during OCCK’s business hours will be $2. After hours service will be conducted with a taxi and will cost $5 for a one way ride to the Airport.
“We’re very excited to continue this service,” said Michelle Griffin, mobility manager at OCCK. “The pandemic changed operations for a while, but with a new airport schedule, we can serve Salina and the airport in this way. We continue to look for new transportation partnerships that help us to increase accessibility options for transit in our area.”
