Four major art projects for new KCI terminal revealed
The first of four major art projects for the new single terminal airport at KCI have been revealed.
More than 1,000 artists from around the world submitted inquiries after Kansas City announced an international search for artists. The city said the four works of art were chosen because they either reflected the wonder of travel or Kansas City history. The budget for artwork at KCI’s new terminal is $5.65 million. Kansas City’s single-terminal airport is expected to open on budget and on time in early 2023. “The fact that we’ve been through a pandemic over the last year and yet this project remains on time, on schedule, and on budget is a testament to the good work of the team,” said Justin Meyer with the KC Aviation Department. You can see the renderings of the art projects in the gallery below. Entitled "Molten Swing" Entitled "The Air up There" Entitled "Ornithology" Entitled "Fountain of Resonance" "Molten Swing" looks kind of like a mosaic dog or cat to me, it might look cool though but not sure what to make of it at this point. "The Air up There" simply looks like some lights on the ceiling, again it might look better when you're actually there I hope. "Ornithology" reminds me of those attacking creatures in the Pitch Black movie. You just knew one of the artwork they chose would have a WTF moment and this is it. "Fountain of Resonance" I approve of this one. Thoughts? https://fox4kc.com/news/art-projects...inal-revealed/ |

“If there were another March 2020, where revenue would dry out for four or five months, the airlines would be on the hook to cover, to make sure that we made that $95 million debt payment in that year,” Klein said. “They’ve taken on that responsibility to be the backstop to make sure that we’re good “That annual debt payment is paid through a combination of airport revenue,” Klein said. “So the airline rents, the parking revenue, the concessions, all of that totals, let’s say $75 million. For each passenger that goes through the airport, we get $4.50. That equals about $20 million annually. So that’s how we pay the debt back It looks like the landing fee is about $5 per passenger per flight. So that doesn't sound like much and about typical for airports. So whatever you are paying for muh modern art and high ceilings is probably mostly from concession fees from parking and high priced food and drink. |

KC isn't a City that lurks in airports. Hell you can barely get people to cross the river for anything. They have been bitching since day one when they had to drive 20 miles to old MCI. They could have put an international airport in OP Ks or Blue Springs people would have gone through the roof with noise pollution like they did with I-70 I 470 291 I 435 about noise.

Scurvy, I relay enjoy reading your run on sentences and inability to pick up on anything with nuance. But that’s okay. We know you weren’t burdened with an over abundance of education.

Mr Srvy has the full understanding of the sell job done on this airport. They will have to fund it at some point via tax on the city and added fees on tickets. It was a scam from the start and a grift by Sly and city council and pressed forward by the new mayor. the kickbacks will pay out over many years.
