Kansas City should replace its existing three terminals with a new single terminal at KCI Airport, a citizens group that has spent the past year studying improvements recommended Wednesday.
Nineteen of the KCI Terminal Advisory Group’s 24 members voted in favor of building a new single terminal subject to more information on costs.
The advice from the KCI Terminal Advisory Group echoes a plan that the city’s Aviation Department had put forth but that many in the public have rejected out of love for the current convenient parking-to-gate distances.
The citizens’ recommendation is intended to guide the city toward one of the most important civic building projects of the next decade. The Aviation Department has said it needs to modernize the 40-year-old airport that many Kansas City residents and travelers adore just the way it is.
