Kansas City airport set to debut new Guest Pass program this summer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A new Guest Pass program is set to debut at Kansas City’s airport to allow those not flying access to the other side of the security gate.

The City of Kansas City announced on Friday, June 27, that the Kansas City International Airport is set to debut a new Guest Pass program on Thursday, July 3. This allows those not travelling to visit the post-security side of the terminal.

City leaders noted that the new initiative will enable community members to meet their family and friends at their arrival gate. It also allows them to spend more quality time with loved ones during departures.

On the other side of security, airport officials said community members will be able to enjoy their world-class amenities.

City leaders indicated that the program was created in partnership with the Transportation Security Administration. Which means Guest Pass holders are not immune to security protocols.

It is important to note that those who use the new pass will still be subject to the same safety regulations as travellers. All information provided during the application process will be run through TSA’s Secure Flight system to ensure compliance.

City leaders are expected to gather at KCI and discuss the new program on Monday morning, June 30.
