Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) yesterday dropped its short-term parking fees by 33 per cent in response to customer feedback.

Daily parking rates at the three short-termm lots fell from $30 to $20 per day with effect from March 3, 2014.

Nicole Henfield, Nassau Airport Development Company’s (NAD) manager of parking and ground transportation, said the fee reduction was a direct result of feedback from consumers.

“Earlier this year, we conducted surveys to determine what customers considered a fair market price to park in the short-term lots. Participants rated their overall satisfaction with the parking experience at the airport and offered recommendations on pricing,” Ms Henfield explained.

“An overwhelming majority of the 160 persons surveyed preferred a rate at or below $20. Based on these findings, we made the decision to reduce the daily rates in the short-term lots with the hopes of increasing traffic and generating more revenue.”

A total of 625 parking spots in the US Departures, International and Domestic short-term parking lots will be offered at the new daily rate of $20.

Upgraded parking lots at LPIA (US and International) include customer-friendly ticket dispensers with access for left and right-hand drive vehicles, assistance buttons at the ticket dispensers and stand-alone call stations, where drivers can reach parking personnel 24-hours a day.
