The full city council is expected to back that plan. That means it will go before Kansas City voters.
City officials and the airlines have pushed for the one-terminal plan saying it would be cheaper than renovating the airport due to its current layout.
They also say it would allow for technology upgrades, more restaurants, children play areas, business lounges and an airline club.
Critics argue it would cost too much and do away with the simplicity and convenience of the current design.
It is unknown which design the council will put forward.
41 Action News Reporter Dia Wall will bring a full report at 10 p.m.
