New Terminal Concessions Opportunities

A CONCESSION PROGRAM THAT IS CUSTOMER-CENTRIC, PROVIDING A SENSE OF PLACE, WHICH ENGAGES USEFUL TECHNOLOGY AND INTEGRATES A TRUE SPIRIT OF KANSAS CITY.

The Kansas City Aviation Department has established the following goals for the program:

Opportunities for real local participation through a variety of means
No limits on how local operators participate in the concession program
Competition between concession locations
Prices for concession products must be reasonable
The concession program should be regionally inspired
The highest levels of customer service must be offered
The concession program should make use of cutting edge, useful technology
The concession program should be unique
