Who wants to come near a skeleton anyway? But seriously, keep 6 ft. away from others while in the terminal. There are social distancing labels on the floor to guide you.#RedSkeletonICT#AirportTwitterpic.twitter.com/PkTDfjIcCE
Red wants to remind you to wear a face mask, keep 6 ft. away from others, wash your hands and use hand sanitizer! There is a vending machine located on the main floor if you need a face mask or PPE supplies. #RedSkeletonICT#AirportTwitterpic.twitter.com/rmaBlzHdfr
Halloween is coming up soon and airports are getting ready to celebrate – whether we’re in the terminals or not.
We’ll keep adding to this list, so please send us any airport Halloween decorations you spot.

Last year Red really got around. He even had TSA Precheck status.
Hocus Pocus was a hit. Next?
In Nebraska, Lincoln Airport (LNK) has been having so much fun hosting drive-in movie nights – last week it was ‘Hocus Pocus’ – that they’re looking for ideas on what movie to show next.
ET, maybe?
A few months ago we featured The Sandlot for LNK friends and family and this past week Hocus Pocus was a 2-night hit. Comment below your favorite movie for our next drive in outdoor event. #FlyLNK#Community#MovieNightpic.twitter.com/F6uX0WGmx5
In Chicago, some of the concessions at O’Hare Airport (ORD) are having a pumpkin decorating contest. Check out all 28 entries and vote for your favorite before Halloween ends.
On June 3, 2015, Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Kansas (formerly Wichita Mid-Continent Airport) opened a swanky new state-of-the-art terminal building.
The terminal was designed to reflect Wichita’s role in the aviation industry and has many elements that evoke flight.
For example, the terrazzo design on the floor takes inspiration from the contrails of aircraft flying in the sky. As a bonus, the lines serve as wayfinding tools for passengers to and through various parts of the terminal.
Historical exhibits are located throughout the terminal as well. And on the public mezzanine, wing-like exhibits contain historical data and graphics explaining the rich history of Wichita’s aviation heritage.
2. Wichita Airport’s History of Aviation exhibit
Wichita’s role in aviation history has earned it the title of “Air Capital of the World.” The legacy of aircraft manufacturing in the city is documented in the airport’s History of Aviation exhibit, which is like a free museum inside the airport.
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) has 12 glass jet bridges (11 are currently in use). That’s the largest installation of glass jet bridges in the country.
4. Cool Kansas Souvenirs
ICT airport is located in Kansas. So of course there are Wizard of Oz-themed souvenirs available in the airport gift shops. And lots of them.
5. “Aloft” art
Created by Ed Carpenter, the “Aloft” sculpture inside Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) was designed to evoke “feelings of ascent and descent, and sensations of the allure of flight.”
The work is composed of a 360-foot-long main cable and sixty-five transverse cables that support alternating panels of laminated glass and plastic.
