Birmingham Airport makes car parking alterations
Thu, 19 Jun, 2008
Birmingham Airport is investing £2 million into car parking facilities in order to reduce congestion at drop off and collection points.
In an effort to make life easier for drivers, all of the parking bays have been redesigned to run at 45 degree angles so that it is easier for passengers to come and go.
The short-stay car park will remain a permanent 'drop and go' facility, costing £1 to park for 20 minutes and a further £3 for every 15 minutes after that.
There are plans to install an additional entrance lane to the 'drop and go' car park and realigning all three lanes so that they are used equally.
Moreover, new pay machines have been installed throughout the 'drop and go' car park to improve duration times.
Richard Gill, the airport's head of market development, said: "The investment we have made ... will help access, safety and speed of dropping people at the airport."
Birmingham handles around nine million passengers through its two terminals every year.
