Lol

Maybe, they should add a massive block on the left side to represent the parking garage.

lol

I think it's fine. A little more up to date at least.

[earthling]

It's whatever but does look like it was thrown together by the engineering firm, not a marketing firm.

The new logo is unremarkably banal just like the architecture of the airport. It's perfect.

Look at other peer airport logos and then get back to us.

I honestly can’t think of a single one outside of Sacramento airports logo, and that’s just because it’s a big ‘S’ with a plane swooping through

[shaffe]

I didn't even know airports had logos. *shrug*

Nor that it would invoke such passion. I just thought it was neat to see a new logo that looked like the new terminal entrance.

[kcjak]

I get it - it's an airport logo. But if it has to be explained to people (and most of us on here are probably more in tune with the airport design than the general public) then it's probably missing the mark. It's going to be an amazing airport IMO but to assume the exterior of the main terminal is iconic is a bit of a stretch given it's the same as many other airports.

[GRID]

Iconic? I'm as excited about the new terminal as anybody, but the new terminal is a box with a flat roof that partly overhangs the curb. Far from Iconic lol.

The new terminal is basically just bringing KC's airport up to basic standards. It's still a relatively bare bones terminal that seems very "budget" to me, but 1000 times better than the old setup.

And the logo is stupid, but fine I guess. Because nobody will have any idea what that logo represents. It's not something that matters though.

[KCPowercat]

It is the iconic part of the design. Nobody is claiming it's the Sydney opera house. Jfc people

Where is the stoned frog ?

Also within the presentation are full gate assignments. Jetblue and Air Canada haven't been assigned gates yet apparently. Top European markets to/from KC are featured as well.

[swid]

Air Canada will almost certainly share one of the United gates (as they do currently).

JetBlue will *probably* start out in A8, but if/when their acquisition of Spirit goes through, they could wind up in B as well.

Just curious as to how the new terminal will be set up for customs? KC currently has some international flights so there has to be some area for customs planned.

There will be a customs/immigration facility with an internationally configured baggage claim. The terminal will also have a separate check-in for passengers with connecting flights. Passengers will disembark from south concourse A, walk down a hallway and towards an escalator where border control is located.

Yup it will be like every other normal terminal out there. Flex gates to direct international arrivals to customs area when needed.
