It wasn’t until 2013 that the city council cast a wide net to explore the community’s needs. When traffic patterns evolved and new security protocols were incorporated, the Kansas City Missouri Aviation Department realized changes would be necessary but recommendations for a single terminal fell flat in 19. In its early years, MCI was at the forefront of modern design with three terminals and a “drive-to-your-gate” strategy.
With features such as a sensory room, all-gender restrooms and provisions that will allow extra-wary travelers to practice clearing security and boarding a real aircraft, the terminal is setting new accessibility and inclusiveness standards for the entire airport industry. Locally, the $1.5 billion initiative is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history. Scheduled to open next spring, the new terminal will include 1 million new square feet of space, 39 gates, 6,150 parking spaces and the arrivals and departures split into two levels for customer convenience and better traffic flow.
While that can prove confusing, it’s crystal clear that the whole region is rallying behind the new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (MCI), which is on the Missouri side of town. Straddling the border of two states, Kansas City has some parts in Kansas and other parts in Missouri.
