Airport Information

Location:

  • Kansas City Airport System

    • Kansas City International Airport

      Kansas City International Airport is currently going through some major renovations. You should allow yourself extra time when traveling to KCI since construction is causing travel delays at peak times due to traffic congestion. Parking lots have been closed off and some airlines may change locations, perhaps even terminals so you will need to take this into consideration as well.

      The following link will keep you updated on the KCI construction:
