I don't care what your say, these are kick-ass buildings and I wish there was some other public use for them.

Why they didn’t keep that lighting system is beyond me.

I think there’s alot of people out there in KC who think we’re still gonna be using B and C as the airport too once the new terminal is done- they don’t realize it’s only gonna be the one terminal. I’ve heard several people say “yeah we’re getting that née terminal, but we’re still gonna be using B & C too, right?”

terminal C should be preserved as a jail for anyone still saying we do not need a new airport.

flew out of KCI last week and was stuck in the longest security line i've ever had there. it was 3 lines, each at least 100 deep. airport staff called out for anyone whose plane was boarding to head to the front of the line - cue at least 40% of those in line trying to cram to the front. it was a shitshow. we almost missed our flight.

Same or people asking whatever happened to the new terminal idea.

They will be bulldozed. They are expensive to upkeep and are valuable real estate that could be used for operations. I could see C staying for WC and then going away

is there any update on whether the new KCI is expected to actually result in additional flights being added? i know things are still a little uncertain due to COVID. we need a new facility regardless, but most of all we need more flights.

The nice thing about almost missing your flight is that you didn't have to wait in the cramped gate area with overused toilet facilities and limited services.

That will be up to the airlines to decide. New terminal will fit the reqs that the more mainstream Euro airlines where the old terminal did not.

It’s definitely no coincidence that JetBlue will begin operations here when they are scheduled to. I imagine they’ll gun to try and use it as their central US base, considering they don’t currently really have one

The first part is true. Second I hope as well but I am doubtful.

You seem to say this with more authority than any ody actually attached to the airport has stated.

The old terminals will be bulldozed after the new terminals open. This is consistent with airport officials and was obligated in the Use and Lease agreement.

I’m cautiously optimistic. They’re coming out of the pandemic well positioned, and they seem hungry to expand. They also have an aircraft fleet made up of smaller narrow bodies, leading me to believe they’d like a stop over point in the middle of the country, especially at an airport without a major focus airline.

One of them should be kept for perhaps regional small planes with a tram/bus that feeds directly into secure area of new terminal. Cleveland does this. But sounds like too late.
