PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Dedicated by Charles Lindbergh in 1927, Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport was the city’s first airport and one of its busiest. Originally home to commercial aviation, the airport attracts a large number of corporate, charter and recreational flyers.

Located on 695 acres, the airport is just across the Missouri River from Kansas City’s business center. Airport users have easy access to all interstate highways that serve the metropolitan area, as well as other major thoroughfares. The airport also serves as an ideal refueling stop for air travelers thanks to its central geographic location.
