The Kansas City Aviation Department (Booth No. 6925) plans to break ground this fall on a 20-acre development at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport. According to airport authorities, the move is necessary “to keep pace with demand for services from business and leisure operators seeking easy access to Kansas City’s growing downtown residential and business district.”

The new development, known as “T-Town,” will include 102 new hangars, 10 box hangars and 16 tiedown positions, as well as a self-serve fueling station and an outdoor aircraft washing area. An 18,000-sq-ft terminal building will house offices, a pilots’ lounge, meeting rooms, weather center and other amenities.
