Wichita Mid-Continent Airport is a busy commercial airport situated in the heart of the mid-west of the US. Wichita Mid-Continent Airport (ICT, KICT), United States of America The central terminal, expected to be completed by 2025, is planned to be built in a vacant area located south of the airfield. Lack of retail space beyond the security check also adds to the operating costs at the terminal. The proposal was made due to the rising expenses of operating three security checkpoints at each terminal. Arriving at the airport, passengers can walk directly out of the terminal without passing through any corridors.Ī plan to merge the three terminals into one central terminal was proposed by the airport authorities in the master plan formulated in December 2007. Passengers can access the terminal gates within a 100m (328ft) distance from the parking area. Airport buses are used instead of people movers to take passengers around the airport.
The terminal was designed to reduce infrastructure cost by eliminating the use of people movers. The three concourses and parking lots are connected by encircling access roads. It has three concourses, A, B and C, which are surrounded by four parking lots. KCI Airport features the country’s first "drive-to-your-gate" terminal. "The airport is owned and operated by Kansas City Aviation Department."
