The Kansas City Aviation Department has announced that
Runways 1-19 at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (MKC) will reopen November
15 following reconstruction of the north 3,300-ft section. This will
effectively reopen all runways in time for winter operations. The runway
project is part of a $69.6 million improvement program to enhance the facility.
Future projects will see a relocation of MKC's fuel farm, new hangars, new
runway safety areas and a 400-ft extension to Runways 1-19.
