Kansas City International Airport
600 Brasilia Avenue
Kansas City, MO 64153
(816) 243-5237
Kansas City International Airport, located 20 minutes from Leavenworth, was built by the City of Kansas City, MO, and opened in 1972. The KCI complex spans more than 10,000 acres, and its three runways can accommodate up to 139 aircraft operations per hour. Uncongested air and ground space, short taxi time and a low weather-related closure/cancelation rate are why KCI consistently ranks among the lowest in delays of all U.S. airports. New surfaces on the runways, taxiways and terminal aprons, along with ongoing infrastructure improvements and expansions, enhance the airport's efficiency and convenience to air carriers.
