June 20, 2026CUSTOMS CLEARANCE ADVISORY: If KMKC is your first U.S. port of entry, Atlantic Aviation charges $400 for clearing customs and $800 if you give them any international trash. If you’d rather not pay those fees, clear customs at KMCI or another airport.

May 17, 2026Stopped here on a medevac run and needed to pick up food for the medical team. With the World Cup going on, they had only TWO crew cars available?? There were at least six flight crews here, probably more. Pretty poor planning for a platinum customer.

April 3, 2025There are two 2,049 foot MSL towers about 2 miles southeast of the airport (167 bearing) that pilots need to be mindful of.
