MCI AIRPORT & FLIGHT STATUS

Kansas City MCI Airport Overview

Kansas City International Airport MCI is uniquely situated as a major asset in the future development of Kansas City’s Northland.  Given its mid-continent location, the Airport is a two- or three-hour flight from most U.S. destinations – a true gateway to and from America’s heartland.  A freqent business flyer notes that MCI is his favored 'great little airport, easy to navigate'.

MCI Airport is located 15 miles from downtown Kansas City, in Platte County, state of Missouri, and accessible via Interstate Hwy I-29 (Exit 13  - its access road merges with a cirle road around the terminals and parking facilities). If you take the Kansas Speedway, a trip of about 24 miles, take I-70 East /Kansas Tpk. towards St. Louis; merge onto I-435 N via exit 411B; merge onto US-71 S / I-435 E/ I-29 S & take exit 13.  A sharp bend in the Missouri River surrounds the Airport. 
A new state-of-the-art message board replaced the old Welcome sign, while another six overhead electronic signs along Cookingham Drive & International Circle were also being replaced.
NOTE: until completion in 2014, there will be major ongoing roadway work - for more information open (www) modot.org/kansascity/newrelease/District4Release.shtml?action=displaySSI&newsId=184178.
