New Airport economy parking lot opens Wednesday

Advertiser Staff

Starting Wednesday, the state Department of Transportation will provide additional parking at Honolulu International Airport at reduced prices.

A new economy parking lot, on the corner of Aolele Street and Lagoon Drive, will provide an additional 360 uncovered parking stalls and five handicapped stalls to the existing 4,500 airport stalls.

An introductory rate of $5 per calendar day is offered for the economy lot, which will be in service from 5 a.m. until the arrival of the last flight. Free shuttle service will be provided to and from the airport terminals. Security will be present and state sheriffs and airport security will monitor the area. Travelers planning to use the new lot should arrive 45 minutes earlier than usual to provide enough time to catch the shuttle and check in.

Drivers can only enter and exit the lot from Aolele Street. Signs will be posted indicating directions to the new lot.

For further information about the economy parking lot, please visit the Honolulu International Airport's Web site at www.hawaii.gov/dot/airports/hnl/index.htm.
