Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

No, no that had been mentioned yet. But now you got me excited! I thought the new target date was early February 2023??? This is the first I've heard of any mention of a possible January 2023 opening "Planning for new KCI terminal grand opening underway" https://fox4kc.com/news/planning-f...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

May have already been mentioned here -- but the new terminal is running ahead of schedule, and may be fully finished around November. Anticipate the possibility it opens earlier than initially anticipated (possibly Jan/Feb 2023). No, no that had been mentioned yet. But now you got me excited! I tho...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

I ran into similar issues, but only at kci. Bars and restaurants were running just fine at every other airport I’ve been at. Flew there from phoenix 2 weeks prior. The only issue there that reflects my experience at KCI was the trash. All restaurants were open, and security took just about as long ...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

So, I flew out of KCI back on June 15th. Some of the issues that were glaring: The roof was leaking in terminal B at gate area 34. Stores were closed this was at 5p. Not enough security staff so our wait in a 30 people deep line was about 30 minutes to get through security. Also someone went out the...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

I think this design could add 7 more gates to the end of Concourse A but beyond that KCI is probably looking at a second terminal. To be fair that's an 18% increase on the current 38 gates. I'm sure once this project is done there will be another long term plan made at some point but I think a seco...

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

I think the original plan called for 21' celings through the concourses, and column free. I think this will look good.
I'm not sure how well I like the exposed steel beams in the concession nodes, and headhouse. Seems like all the new airports being built now are going with a sleek design throughout.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

Cool! RIP scalloped roof I've noticed some subtle changes in the renderings. Looks like they possibly had to make room in the budget for the glass jetways. If you take a look at the most recent renderings, you will notice less glass throughout the terminal concourses, they have also taken away some...

I haven't heard anything on the people mover in a bit. Wonder where that is?
They are going to go with a Digital Fountain in Node A.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

underground or arrivals level? Yes the columns are two stories tall (arrivals and departure + roof) The renderings of the arrivals level is very glassy, not concrete slabs. edit...ehhh, maybe not. Pretty utilitarian arrivals level. https://www.buildkci.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/C06-1.jpg The p...

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

Most of the options presented for the new terminal read as a focus group for what to highlight in advertising, rather than an unexpected re-think of what was designed. I’m not too worried. I would consider the air ventilation & additional hands-free tech as the most probable changes that could ...

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

It was impossible to get a full visual scale of the size due to the huge pile of dirt, and rocks between the project and the runway. IMO, it looks to be a larger version of Love Field in Dallas.

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

Veryyyyyyy lucky we did not push this project back even a few more months. Punting this from the 2008 plan to 2019 cut the program a lot (65 down to 39 gates iirc). I’m certain punting this to the 2020s would have given us a very cheapo 15-25 gate facility. the current project will have 42 gates. 2...

Re: We are getting a new airport!!!

They're putting skylights in as I recall. According to the renderings at this time, they are. Too bad the garage has to be a whole story taller than the terminal though. I also think they should of left a little more room between the two so there is room to put something there in the future like a ...

to me it looks like it's going to be a pretty standard airport terminal. Not sure how that hulking garage nearby will play out for the natural lighting inside the ticket lobby.
