Kansas City International Airport New Single Terminal 

The Kansas City International Airport’s New Terminal marked a significant accomplishment in the aviation industry by earning LEED Gold certification. This project is the second and the largest airport in the United States to achieve this feat and earned this certification by meeting each marker in the LEED Certification’s four-tiered point system. For a project to achieve a top-tier certification, LEED must be considered early in the planning stages. 

The community’s commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and design innovation is now on display at the Kansas City International Airport’s New Terminal. This achievement not only marks an incredible sustainability forethought, set forth by Kansas City, but reduces the overall carbon impact an airport has on its community.

Building for an Operational Airport 

During his remarks, John emphasized the unique challenges of working in an active airport environment, where construction teams must balance infrastructure improvements with maintaining smooth operations for travelers. He outlined the following items as keys to success when operating in active spaces: 

• Understanding Airport Values – Sky Harbor International Airport prioritizes passenger experience, and construction teams must align with those values to minimize disruptions and enhance traveler satisfaction. 

• Maintaining the Traveler’s Experience – From clear wayfinding to noise reduction strategies, every decision made on-site contributes to the overall airport experience. 

• Aligning with Airport Goals – Working hand-in-hand with Sky Harbor to identify key objectives—whether sustainability, efficiency, or brand representation—ensures that projects contribute to the airport’s long-term success. 

• Executing Multiple Plans – Airports are dynamic environments where flexibility is essential. By planning ahead and preparing for processes such as timing and costs associated with badging, insurance requirements, site logistics and how to communicate clearly and often, teams can seamlessly carry out the project needs 

• Supporting the Sky Harbor Brand – Beyond delivering quality projects, John highlighted the importance of representing Sky Harbor’s brand values throughout the construction process. “Our team, stakeholders, and trade partners all represent the airport and its values each day when we are on-site. We are ambassadors for the airport,” he shared.

During the event, guests were invited to sign their names on the beam, which represented one of the final pieces of structural steel to be placed in the terminal’s framework. The project’s structural phase is scheduled to be fully complete in early January. The event brought together an esteemed group of attendees from across the Greater Des Moines community, including key community board members, municipal contributors, local mayors, and additional key partners involved in the terminal’s development.  

“This event serves as a historical record of those who were involved in funding and constructing the new terminal. Hopefully, decades from now as the building grows and evolves to serve the needs of Iowans, this beam will demonstrate the community effort it took to achieve this once in a generation project, cementing a legacy for all of those involved on this project.”

Kevin Foley, Executive Director of the Des Moines Airport Authority 

Following the completion of structural steel in January 2025, the construction team will shift focus to completing the building structure in February. The exterior envelope of the New Terminal is expected to be watertight with the full façade completed by the end of summer 2025. 

“Completing the structural phase of this project is a monumental milestone. Our team is proud of the teamwork that brought us to this point and we’re excited to continue to move into the interiors phase of construction.”

Dan Solem, Project Executive for Weitz | Turner at the Des Moines International Airport New Terminal Project.  

The New Terminal is set to open to the public in late 2026 offering 18 aircraft gates, updated baggage handling systems, elevated dining and retail options, expanded central security screening checkpoints and improved technology.

The baggage handling system is an essential and complex part of any airport operation, so Pat recommends keeping these three things in mind when designing or upgrading a BHS system:  

1. There are two types of BHS – Conventional Conveyor Centralized and Individual Carrier Systems (ICS). It’s vital to select the one best for your operation.  

Conventional Conveyors are legacy slider beds with belt conveyors. Individual Carrier Systems focus on tubs transported on a track. The technology advantage of this system is centered on the tubs that are RFID-equipped, which provides 100% tracking accuracy throughout the entire BHS process.  

The correct baggage handling system depends on the intricacies of the airport itself.   

2. Start with the endpoint in mind.   

As challenges arise on any project, implementing proactive measures early is vital when handling these complex systems. Pat understands what an integral role BHS plays in the overall airport operations. Without an effective BHS operation identified early on in project planning, an airport risks the facility lacking both operational and overall passenger experience.   

3. The baggage handling system can impact the entire airport operation.   

On average, 2,500 bags move through the system in an hour – handling up to 11,000 bags daily. To ensure positive consumer travel, the baggage handling system must be efficient.  

Built upon collaborative relationships and customer satisfaction, the Weitz team and I are excited to pave the future for baggage handling systems. With all the different technological advancements, I cannot wait to see the growth of these systems as my career continues to serve airports across the nation. With our customer-focused approach, we understand that baggage handling systems are at the heart of the airport, dictating travel efficiency.

On February 28, 2023, the first flights will take off from the New Single Terminal at the Kansas City International Airport. An Opening Ceremony will be held the day before followed by an overnight switchover occurring between the old and new terminals. This project set multiple records, including becoming the second LEED Gold and the largest LEED Gold airport in the U.S. After working on this project for four years, the Weitz team is proud to celebrate this historic upgrade to the airport and greater community.

Leading up to the Opening Ceremony and official first operating day of the New Single Terminal, there have been several opportunities for the Kansas City community to be involved in the finalization and celebration of the project. On February 14, the terminal was open to a select group of local volunteers to test out the New Single Terminal as if they were about to board a flight. The exercise asked volunteers to participate in the check in process, locating unique amenities and concessions, simulating the boarding process, collecting luggage, and testing the facility’s wayfinding signage. On February 18, the airport hosted a Community Open House, inviting members of the Kansas City community to the New Single Terminal to view and enjoy the state-of-the-art facility. 

“The world-class New Single Terminal will be a pillar to this community for decades to come, and a destination for passengers as they travel to see all the Midwest has to offer,” said Ben Bunge, Director of Aviation at the Weitz Company. “Working on this project and with our partners has been a highlight of my career. I could not be prouder of how our team committed themselves to the success and timely delivery of this project to our partners and the greater Kansas City community.” 

The completion of the Kansas City International Airport’s New Single Terminal hits many milestones for both the City of Kansas City, Missouri, and The Weitz Company. For Kansas City, the airport is the single largest infrastructure project in the city’s history, replacing Kansas City International’s three-terminal concept, originally built in 1972. For Weitz, it’s one of the largest construction projects in the company’s 167-year history. Coming in at 1.1 million square feet, the New Single Terminal has 40 gates with ability to expand to 50 in the future and includes moving walkways, a consolidated security check point, the first wireless electric bus charging stations, a covered parking garage with over 6,300 spaces, and glass passenger boarding bridges at all gates, making the Kansas City International Airport the largest all-glass facility in the U.S. 

The New Single Terminal will also celebrate the Kansas City community, with 80% of the concession and retail brands represented in the terminal being local to the region. The terminal will also highlight legendary KC barbeque. The Made for KC BBQ Championship, a Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned Competitor’s series competition, is designed to award an area competition barbeque team the opportunity to serve as pitmaster in the Made for KC Barbeque Experience located in Concourse B for one year; additionally, Meat Mitch BBQ will be in Concourse A. 

While the New Single Terminal is celebrating the completion of this historic project, this will also be an occasion to recognize the many partners and workers who made the project possible. The Build KCI project generated more than 6,000 construction-related jobs with more than 240 Kansas City-area firms also contributing on the project. Additionally, more than 130 minority- and women-owned business partners were a part of the project. 

Developed over the last four decades, Weitz’s airport portfolio includes a range of landside and airside projects at municipal, international, and military airfields. The Weitz Company offers in-depth expertise in terminals, taxiways, runways, parking apron hangars, gate concourses, baggage handling systems, automated people movers, and more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 5, 2023

PHOENIX, Ariz. – The Weitz Company has been selected by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to upgrade its Terminal 4 Baggage Handling System (BHS) for an estimated $50 million in construction costs. The project award encompasses preconstruction services and construction in partnership with JSM & Associates.

This project will primarily focus on the outbound BHS servicing the North concourses and inbound system. The complete modernization of Terminal 4 BHS includes T4 North (T4N), T4 International (T4I), T4 Recheck (T4R), T4 FIS (T4FIS), and T4 In-Bound 1 thru 7 (T4IB1-7).

“The baggage handling equipment likely isn’t on the average traveler’s mind, but its purpose, efficiency, and reliability directly connect to the traveler’s experiences, and it must be sound. What this project requires is an understanding and coordination of PHX needs, TSA needs, and the dynamic atmosphere in which the work will be performed,” says Ben Bunge, Weitz’s Director of Aviation. “The Weitz team provides the depth of readily available resources, specialized expertise, aviation experience, and aviation knowledge combined with over 44 years of local experience, including Phoenix Sky Train, to support the airport in successfully delivering this project.”

Weitz and JSM have successfully completed years of BHS projects together. The two companies plan to modernize the 32-year-old baggage handling system in part by using a phased design and implementation plan, including contingency planning, showing a smooth transition between new and existing systems while not impacting active airport operations and passenger experience. BIM Technology will also be used to show work in 3D, which increases cost certainty and project communication.

“One approach The Weitz Company takes is capitalizing first on local involvement,” says Mina Wassef, Weitz Southwest General Manager. “Weitz has extensive experience working with small businesses and we value those partnerships with vendors and trades which encapsulate the local market. We are excited to involve the community as we embark on this project.”

The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 4 BHS Upgrades CMAR procurement and design will occur in 2023 – 2024. Construction will begin in 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2027. Upon completion, the BHS will be more reliable, and operationally efficient, compliant with TSA Planning Guidelines & Design Standards Version 7.0, more energy efficient, and less costly to operate due to reduced maintenance trouble calls and system outages.
