Taken from Wikipedia, "Kansas City International Airport (IATA: MCI, ICAO: KMCI, FAA LID: MCI) (originally Mid-Continent International Airport) is a public airport 15 miles (24 km) northwest of downtown Kansas City, in Platte County, Missouri. In 2014, 10.2 million passengers used the airport.
It has consistently ranked in the top-five airports in the North America Airport Satisfaction Study by J. D. Power and Associates. In February 2010 the airport was the highest-rated medium-sized airport receiving five stars in all categories. In February 2008, U.S. News & World Report ranked the airport the "third least miserable airport" in the U.S., based on the 47 busiest airports in the country.
Its largest carriers are Southwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines, both having many daily flights in Terminal B.
The airport has always been a civilian airport and has never had an Air National Guard unit assigned to it.
In 2009 the airport was reported as having the highest number of wildlife strikes of any airport in the US, based on take-offs and landings (57 per 100,000).[6] FAA records showed 146 strikes in 2008 – up from 37 in 2000."
