KCI Komedy Part II

About one year ago I posted a short item about the possible changes at KCI airport. Please see http://shawneeray.blogspot.com/search?q=KCI+Komedy

More stories have been appearing lately about the possibility of changing the configuration of KCI.

The airport comes under the authority of the City of KCMO through its Aviation Department.

Having flown in and out of KCI I can personally say it is a pleasure compared to other airports with the single or central terminal design. Friends, relatives and business associates who have come through KCI also marvel at its positive uniqueness.

KCI is a true regional airport.

The questions I'd like to see answered are:

1. How many Kansas residents (numbers and percentages) utilize KCI? Possibly even broken down by county.

2. How many tourists (numbers and percentages) visiting, have a Kansas location as their destination?

3. How many business travelers (numbers and percentages) have a Kansas location as their destination?

4. How many of those above would like to see the configuration of the airport remain the way it is. (Supposedly it was designed with the possibility of a 4th circular terminal being built if necessary)

5. How much input will Kansas residents and businesses be permitted regarding any changes?
