Servicing close to 10 million passengers each year, MCI is also annually ranked among the best airports of its size.The Kansas City Airport is one of the most uniquely structured airports in the country. MCI’s 90 gates are divided into three ring-shaped terminals, each containing its own circular parking lot with a garage in the center.

Within each of the three terminals, travelers will find a number of dining and concessions options available.
