The airport serves small commercial passenger airlines, cargo carriers, light general aviation, corporate jets, helicopters, Boeing test and delivery and military aircraft. W The airport receives no general fund tax dollars. It's financed by rents, fees, and some Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) resources.

WHY DOES TAXIWAY B NEED TO BE RELOCATED The centerline of Taxiway B is approximately 325 feet from the centerline of Runway 14R/32L KCIA is obligated to adhere to all FAA safety regulations across its operations FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13B Change 1, Airport Design, requires a standard separation of 400 feet The Boeing 767-300F is designated as the airport's critical aircraft, based on FAA criteria which is more than 500 movements annually • •As part of the 14R/32L runway rehabilitation, the FAA has emphasized the need to address non-standard conditions, and KCIA is working in partnership with the FAA to ensure compliance N HOW WILL THESE IMPROVEMENTS IMPACT OPERATIONS Enhances Safety: Eliminates known runway risks, upgrades taxiway surfaces, and builds a new Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting Station. Modernizes Infrastructure: Includes a sustainable, disaster -resilient Air Traffic Control Tower to support long- term operations. Boosts Efficiency: I m proves operational flow and reduces emissions through smarter airport layout and systems. Strengthens the Local Economy: Supports hundreds of family -wage jobs and creates opportunities for small, local, veteran, women, and minority - owned businesses. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Start Identify facility needs & In -person meetings to tour Prepare initial facility planning assumptions facilities and discuss impacts concepts In -person meetings with impacted tenants on refined facility concepts Incorporate feedback and prepare refined facility concepts Incorporate feedback and prepare detailed facility concepts In -person meetings with impacted tenants on initial facility concepts In -person meetings with impacted tenants on detailed facility concepts Prepare Taxiway B Relocation Plan Will this project change the runway length or expand operations? No. This is a safety -focused project only. It won't increase capacity or change the runway length. What is the project timeline? Planning began in 2024. Environmental review starts late 2024 or early 2025. Design is set for 2025-2026, and construction will begin by 2028. How will this project support the local economy? The project promotes local hiring, fair labor, and economic opportunities for small, women -and minority -owned businesses through County and Federal inclusion programs. How will environmental impacts be addressed? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS How will construction impact airport operations? The airport will stay open during construction, with occasional facility closures. Minimal impact is expected for nearby communities. More details will be shared before work begins. KCIA will evaluate impacts through SEPA and NEPA to meet all environmental regulations.

IEnvA is an international environmental certification that guides airports toward greater sustainability using globally recognized standards and best practices, including ISO environmental management systems and the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) framework. The program is a voluntary, turnkey solution that helps airports systematically manage and reduce environmental impacts. KCIA is currently under external review to achieve full IEnvA Certification. KCIA is the first airport in the nation to receive a hybrid electric fire truck — the Striker Volterra from Oshkosh Airport Products — to respond to emergencies such as aircraft incidents and hangar fires. Designed to maximize performance and reliability, the new fire truck lowers fuel use, emissions, and maintenance costs, aligning with KCIA's broader efforts to combat climate change. FIRST HYBRID ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING TRUCK / t The Striker Volterra significantly reduces greenhouse gas and particulate emissions compared to traditional diesel - only fire trucks. NTY ®_.RPORT s--`'i FIELD The addition of this vehicle allows KCIA to retire its oldest diesel model, marking another milestone in the airport's path toward cleaner, more sustainable operations. co AVIATION FUEL (SAF SAF is a liquid fuel currently used in commercial aviation which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 80%. It can be produced from a number of sources (feedstock) including waste oil and fats, green and municipal waste and non- food crops.
