So it will certainly be a better, more efficient and more environmentally-friendly end result,” Meyer said. “Right now our airlines de-ice their aircraft at the gates and spray all the chemicals on the aircraft as they’re pushed back from the terminal, and then we try to collect that. Terminals B and C will be demolished, and the space they occupy will be used to construct a large winter weather de-icing pad. The new terminal is located where Terminal A used to be,” he said. It’s just a new building that will be replacing the other two buildings that are currently in use - Terminal B and Terminal C. Meyer stressed that the project is a new terminal, not a new airport. Meyer said the aviation department is very confident in its ability to deliver the project on budget. The $1.5 billion project is 99.9 percent procured. Meyer confirmed that the new terminal will open March 2023, with the exact date yet to be determined. Meyer, who was the guest speaker at the KC Downtowners’ June luncheon, discussed construction progress on the new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (KCI), amenities and the state of airline service from Kansas City. “One of the things we’re doing is we’re creating an air travel experience,” said Justin Meyer, deputy director of aviation - marketing and air service development, Kansas City Aviation Department.
