What is 316

Area code 316 covers Wichita and South Central Kansas — the city known as the air capital of the world. Wichita's aviation heritage is unmatched: Cessna, Beechcraft, Spirit AeroSystems, and Learjet have all been headquartered in Wichita, and the city remains one of the world's largest producers of private and commercial aircraft. Koch Industries, one of the largest private companies in the US, is headquartered in Wichita, making the city a significant financial and industrial centre well beyond its aviation roots. Intrust Bank and several regional financial institutions anchor Wichita's financial services sector, and Wesley Medical Center and Via Christi Health provide a substantial healthcare economy for south-central Kansas.
