  • MCI Airport Overview
    Kansas City International Airport MCI is located 15 miles from downtown Kansas City, in Platte County, Missouri, and accessible via Interstates I-29 and I-435. As residential, commercial and industrial areas realize their potential, KCI is uniquely situated as a major asset in the future development of Kansas City’s Northland.Kansas City Airport is served by many domestic airlines, including low fare airlines, offering numerous nonstop flights across the U.S. and to Toronto, Canada, and connections worldwide. 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.

    The design of the Kansas City airport’s three circular terminals, Terminals A, B & C with a total of 90 gates, minimizes the distance between the curb and the plane, and each cluster of two to four gates has its own security checkpoint. Security lines generally move quickly. Note, however, that all concessions and restrooms are outside of the checkpoints (or in 'pre-security'). Other amenities include WiFi Zones in all terminals, ATM machines, a business center and transportation points. The free Red Circle Bus is available every 10 minutes to/from the Circle Parking Lots and between the passenger terminals. Its stops are located outside each terminal and are designated by overhead signs marked 'Red Inter-Terminal Connection'. Lift-equipped buses are available on-demand by calling 816.243.5219.

    Within the circular terminals are parking garages for in front of each terminal offering short- & long-term parking--first 30 minutes free for pickup/dropoff. Around the circle road are the Circle Parking Lots for long-term parking, while economy parking lots A, B & C, with a flat daily rate, are available close-by. Valet parking is available on a daily or long-term basis. The free Blue Bus runs about every 10 minutes between the terminals and the Economy Parking Lots. Its stops are located outside each terminal building and are designated by blue overhead signs. For more information, call 5870 from any white courtesy phone. All Blue Buses are wheelchair lift-equipped. The KCI Rental Car Facility is located on 1 Nassau Circle and has currently 10 rental car agencies.
