Airport parking changes revised, following feedback

Proposed changes to parking at Ronaldsway have been revised, following outcry from the public.

The new changes will now come into force from Tuesday July 4 - and will see a two price structure - 'premium and standard.'

It'll see premium parking spaces closest to the main terminal building, with around 160 spaces in total and free parking available for 15 minutes.

Government says those with a disabled parking blue badge will be able to park in this area for free for up to an hour and pay standard rates for any additional time.

Meanwhile, 'standard' parking charges will cover the remaining spaces, with free parking available for up to 30 minutes, and an hour again for those displaying a disabled parking blue badge.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Thomas MHK said People who got in touch focused on free parking and this has now been extended to 30 minutes in the areas covered by 'Standard charges.’
