Please leave out airport alone! it is very user friendly, and I would hate to see it changed. seems like what ever the majority wants, the government does the opposite.

I hate to break up these conversations about the misdirectional baloney the city spews at us but KC has little say in this since the main reason for the bulldozing is to allow the TSA to have a cattle chute with total control.. and we already know how well ‘total control’ works in our prisons. Why do you think the federal government is willing to blow over a billion dollars they don’t have on it?
Face the facts:
This about people control and nothing else. The reason KCI rates so high is due to it not being a TSA cattle chute like most other airports have already become.
MCI will never overtake Indianapolis as a Hub since we are 40 years behind them on infrastructure.

The main reason why is the TSA wants a cattle chute of total control instead of customer satisfaction. We see how well ‘total control’ works in our prisons already, thank you.
I feel the airport is fine the way it is but since we are up against a huge federal snafu that far too many people will put up with.. we will likely fail in our attempts to save the old KCI. 🙁
Sad sad.

I just retired from a major airline and for the past 3 year had been working at DFW and commuted back and forth every week . I was always thankful for KCI and it’s easy access coming and going . Because of that it added at least and hour to my weekend to spend with my family. I could be off the airplane and in my curbside car with my wife in 5 minutes or less .Leaving KCI I could be out of my car , through security and at the gate in 10 minutes or less and have only walked at the most 150 feet .There is no possible way you will be able to do this with the new design .As the Baby Boom generation continue to age and retire , having a short walk and less hastle will be very important for them .
Airlines add flights due to customer demand and the ability to make a profit on a new route, not due to a new airport with more gift shops and eating choices. Airlines run on a very narrow profit margin and they watch every penny . Southwest is the king of this and do very good at it . This new terminal will add cost to the airlines and the traveling public . Ticket prices continue to rise and people’s disposable income keeps going down . All I see with a new very expensive terminal is a loss in passengers and service from the airlines .
Lets keep what works and what most everyone likes just the way it is .

This is about personal legacy building, and very little else. Who will be the Mayor that will step up and fix this cities infrastructure. Not very sexy. It is needed.
