The completion of the Kansas City International Airport’s New Single Terminal hits many milestones for both the City of Kansas City, Missouri, and The Weitz Company. I could not be prouder of how our team committed themselves to the success and timely delivery of this project to our partners and the greater Kansas City community.” “Working on this project and with our partners has been a highlight of my career. “The world-class New Single Terminal will be a pillar to this community for decades to come, and a destination for passengers as they travel to see all the Midwest has to offer,” said Ben Bunge, Director of Aviation at the Weitz Company. On February 18, the airport hosted a Community Open House, inviting members of the Kansas City community to the New Single Terminal to view and enjoy the state-of-the-art facility. The exercise asked volunteers to participate in the check in process, locating unique amenities and concessions, simulating the boarding process, collecting luggage, and testing the facility’s wayfinding signage. On February 14, the terminal was open to a select group of local volunteers to test out the New Single Terminal as if they were about to board a flight. Leading up to the Opening Ceremony and official first operating day of the New Single Terminal, there have been several opportunities for the Kansas City community to be involved in the finalization and celebration of the project. After working on this project for four years, the Weitz team is proud celebrate this historic upgrade to the airport and greater community. This project set multiple records, including becoming the second LEED Gold and the largest LEED Gold airport in the U.S. An Opening Ceremony will be held the day before followed by an overnight switchover occurring between the old and new terminals. On February 28, the first flights will take off from the New Single Terminal at the Kansas City International Airport.
