The Intersection of Travel and Disability

Will This Be the Most Accessible Airport in America?

Mockup of new Kansas City International Airport terminal.

The Kansas City International Airport is building a new terminal facility, and it will feature significant accessibility improvements for travelers with disabilities.

Justin Meyer, the airport’s deputy director of aviation, told KMBC News that he wants the new terminal “to be one that equips future travelers to be able to see the world.” Features of the new terminal, which is set to open in March 2023, will include an all-inclusive play area for children and families with special needs, service animal relief areas, nursing rooms and adult changing tables in bathroom facilities.

OUR TAKE: New construction is an opportunity to embrace universal design, creating spaces that are accessible to everyone. It appears as though the Kansas City Airport will be one of those places, installing accommodations designed for a profoundly expansive range of disabilities.
