At 7,000 feet (2,100 m), runway 18-36 was barely long enough for Boeing 707 aircraft. The airport could not be expanded, as it was surrounded on three sides by the <a href="/wiki/Missouri_River" title="Missouri River">Missouri River</a> and a rail yard on the east side. Pilots demanded action in Kansas City after the Flight 12 accident. </p><p>Runway grooving was a brand new development at the time Flight 12 occurred. Kansas City airport officials grooved the airport, which greatly improved braking conditions afterward. The <a href="/wiki/Federal_Aviation_Administration" title="Federal Aviation Administration">Federal Aviation Administration</a> implemented a program to institute runway grooving more broadly, and by 1969 the FAA had implemented grooving at four airports: <a href="/wiki/Hartsfield%E2%80%93Jackson_Atlanta_International_Airport" title="Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport">Atlanta Municipal Airport</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Midway_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Chicago Midway Airport">Chicago Midway Airport</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="John F. Kennedy Airport">John F. Kennedy Airport</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Washington_National_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington National Airport">Washington National Airport</a>. However, commercial pilots continued to consider the airport unsafe even after it was grooved. In September 1969, the <a href="/wiki/Airline_Pilots_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Airline Pilots Association">Airline Pilots Association</a> (ALPA) released a member survey which named Kansas City Municipal Airport as one of the 10 most dangerous airports in America. Runway conditions at the airport, and the Flight 12 accident, were given by ALPA as specific reasons for including Kansas City on their 10 worst list.<sup id="cite_ref-USDOT_1970_Appropriations_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-USDOT_1970_Appropriations-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 40–42">: 40–42 </span></sup> </p><p>A new airport, <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_International_Airport" title="Kansas City International Airport">Kansas City International Airport</a>, was built to provide commercial air service to Kansas City.
