KCI Plots a New Route
-
Description
-
Detailed article on the Kansas City International Airport and its proposed replacement. Opened in 1972, KCI was initially lauded for its innovative three-terminal, "drive-to-your-plane" design. However, security concerns and a decline in the number of commercial airlines and flights over time have prompted a proposal to replace the airport with a single-terminal layout. The new terminal would ease security concerns and cut operating costs, but is facing intense public resistance from users who prefer the current terminal layout.
