It will also double the number of restroom facilities available with 120 toilets spread throughout the terminal. It will include dozens of retail and restaurant options beyond security checkpoints. The new single terminal project promises to improve the passenger experience, particularly for those waiting out delays or making connections in Kansas City. The facility will initially support 39 aircraft gates, but facility systems are designed to ultimately support 42 gates. The facility will include secure concourses providing concessions and customer amenities. The new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in Kansas City history. Officials expect to open 18 security lanes to service the 39-gate facility, which will replace the airport’s current configuration with gates spread across separate terminals. The terminal will include two concourses attached by a 634-foot connection with moving walkways above and baggage handling systems below.

Much of the framing work is taking shape and the 6,000-spot parking garage is beginning to rise directly in front of the new building.

The New Single Terminal and Parking at Kansas City International Airport (MCI) project consists of a 1 Million square foot terminal facility including curbside, ticketing lobby, TSA compliant security screening checkpoint, TSA compliant in-line Checked Baggage Inspection System and associated support areas, baggage claim areas, baggage make-up area and associated support functions.
