Operations returned to normal at Kansas City International Airport on Sunday afternoon after authorities completed their investigation into a security threat that temporarily shuttered portions of the facility.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed the resolution via social media, stating: “The security incident at @Fly_KansasCity is now clear and normal operations are resuming.”
Officials with the Kansas City Aviation Department initiated evacuations of certain areas within the Missouri airport starting approximately 11:15 a.m. local time in response to what they described as a potential threat. Local airport police collaborated with FBI agents during the investigation process.
The airport serves as a major transportation hub, handling nearly one million travelers each month based on facility statistics.
