Sorry you had to make an unscheduled touchdown in Kansas City,
@Steelers
. That will be the only one this year (not on the
@Chiefs
schedule). Post season: who knows? Fly safely.
Debris picked up on the airfield that caused our Operations staff to close the airport because Foreign Object Damage to aircraft can cause catastrophe. Pots, foam, wall panels, plant ID tags over millions of square feet. Presumed from tornado damage 47 miles away in Linwood, KS.
Big news, Kansas City! The New Terminal at Kansas City International Airport (MCI) will open February 28, 2023! The 50-year-old terminals will see their last flights/passengers February 27. Aircraft and equipment move overnight for first flights on the 28th.
There has been some traffic congestion. We are working on it. Please use Cell Phone Lot off Bern St., 2 lanes driving into Arrivals/pick up, & do not park at curb. Active loading and unloading ONLY. Allow time & patience. Thank you.
Please do NOT come to the airport today to attempt to see
@POTUS
