Passengers at KCI Airport moved from terminals to parking garages during storm; airfield littered with debris
The Kansas City International Airport temporarily suspended flights Tuesday night and moved people from the terminals to parking garage tunnels for shelter because of storms passing through the area, including tornadoes.
Passengers were in parking garages for about an hour before being allowed to return to the terminals.
But the storm left so much debris on the airfield that flights remained delayed, the airport’s Twitter account said. It wasn’t immediately clear when flights would resume. Phone and email messages left with airport spokesman Joe McBride were not immediately returned.
