Talk:Kansas City International Airport

message: "The three-ring design makes it one of the most passenger friendly airports in the world" - This strikes me as POV, and certainly has no source. And certainly does not fit my experience of having to wait over 20 minutes for the "Red Bus" to decide to show up just so I can effectively leave the airport to get to another terminal just to wait in line again at security because you have to leave the area. Ridiculous. Soonercary 13:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Passenger Friendly?

message: On various newspapers and newscasts, the airport is always mentioned as easy to get around. Keep in mind, 90%+ of passengers either begin or end their travel at KCI. Southwest has all of its aircraft in councorse B and Midwest has all of theirs in concourse A. If you have the need to travel in betwen terminals its probably due to a code share disaster. You can fault the airline you flew with for that problem. There is no airport in the western hemisphere handling the amount of passengers MCI handles and yet has such small distance between parking and gate. At LaGuardia airport you can wait up to 2 hours just to get through security. In short, passengers love the airport because of ease of use and airlines hate it do to the amount of security and workforce required to service it. Kcuello (talk) 22:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pasenger Friendly? Yes indeed. 

message: The fact that a far-right-wing talk show host and a far-right-wing heavily-biased "news" site like WorldNetDaily attacked this is not evidence of any broader "controversy." Connecting the foot baths with 9/11 is a blatant example of poisoning the well and absolutely does not belong in this article. It's wingnuttery in the extreme. I have inserted a factual statement about the installation. FCYTravis 16:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Added additional information on the central terminal issue. I cant seem to find pictures of the blueprint the arcitects used to display to the airport personell. If someone could find a picture of the blueprint and include it in the article it would be much appreciated. Kcuello (talk) 15:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Can somebody add AA and/or American Eagle service to DFW and wherever else besides ORD? Some dork screwed it up by adding AS to SEA/PDX service which doesn't exist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.94.61.74 (talk) 11:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: I rewrote the intro, which had over-emphasized a 2013 study to claim that the airport mostly serves Kansas residents.  A slight majority of vehicles at the time were from the Kansas side of the state line, but the airport serves the metropolitan area as a whole, including residents who arrive at the airport by transit, and also visitors who fly into Kansas City Airport for business, family, and tourism on both sides of the state line. -2003:CA:8715:CF00:8C10:1153:6CFD:1BFE (talk) 09:35, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The compromise language is NPOV, makes sense, and is informative. Trying to talk about "mostly serves" doesn't add anything. 19:21, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

text: Yes, I noticed that after commenting here again today.  I saw that the "serves mostly Kansas" rhetoric had been added just a few days ago by someone who was then flagged as a sock-puppet, so of course that sent up an immediate red-flag, along with the fact that he and the other one both seemed oddly triggered by the word "straddling" to describe the KC metro area "straddling" the MO/KS state line. I started the process of reporting him, but apparently he was already flagged as a sock while I was writing the report. -2003:CA:8712:CE00:D14A:B684:951A:AAED (talk) 21:40, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

message: About a year ago an issue came to light (see discussion above) with a sock-puppeteer using multiple sock accounts to spam metro-KC articles with stuff emphasizing Johnson County, Kansas.
This stuff was removed at the time, but I just now checked the article again and it's back.  Removed it once again. -2003:CA:870E:703A:8587:6026:7791:C9DF (talk) 23:11, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit requests for 2020 year end airport data for MCI 

message: I edited the section about proposals to change the airport code to reflect that it is the FAA, not IATA, which objects to changing airport location identifiers due to navigational concerns. The IATA deals with passenger-facing concerns and their airport codes are just used for things like passenger ticketing and baggage handling. Pilots and air traffic controllers do not use IATA codes at all, but rather FAA and ICAO ones. In the U.S., most airports try to use the same code for their FAA and IATA codes, but this is just a convenience, not a requirement. Additionally, most passenger-service airports in the continental U.S. also use their FAA location identifier prefixed by 'K' as their ICAO code, but this is also not a requirement.
As a general rule, the FAA does not allow airport location identifiers to be changed unless there is some major change in service at an airport, such as gaining scheduled passenger service at an airport that previously was not eligible for a 3-letter identifier or sometimes when an airport is completely relocated to another site. This is also why Orlando International (previously McCoy Field) is still MCO, Nashville International (previously Berry Field) is still BNA, and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (previously Moisant Field) is still MSY, for example.
