- FBI and airport police swiftly evacuated Kansas City International Airport terminal after 11:50 a.m. threat.
- Hundreds of passengers stranded on tarmac as flights halted and sweeps conducted.
- Operations resumed post-2 p.m. all-clear, prioritizing safety without undue delays.
FBI agents collaborated with airport police to probe an unspecified threat, evacuating sections of Kansas City International Airport Sunday morning.
One terminal closed out of caution, diverting flights and stranding landed passengers on the taxiway until cleared.
Highway delays hit nearby Interstates due to temporary closures by Missouri DOT.
Passenger Logan Hawley recounted: “Suddenly there was an airport worker saying ‘immediately evacuate,’ people got up fast and rushed out of there.”
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted: “The security incident at @Fly_KansasCity is now clear and normal operations are resuming.”
He added: “I want to thank law enforcement including the @FBI for their timely response. The safety of passengers, airport staff, and crew members is always our number one priority @FAANews.”
