New Pensacola airport parking opened today

Pensacola International Airport opened a new Long-Term Parking lot on Tippin Avenue this morning. The paved lot has lighting and offers 435 parking spaces, two bus shelters and 14 EV charging stations to accommodate guests with electric vehicles. Shuttle service will be provided. The parking fee will be $2 per hour up to a maximum of $9 daily.

“As we continue to break new passenger records almost daily, this new state-of-the-art parking facility will help increase our capacity to maintain the FlyEasy experience,” said Matt Coughlin, Executive Director of Pensacola International Airport.

Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves adds, “Our record-setting demand has our airport facing new challenges, and I’m excited to have met one of those challenges with more than 400 new parking spaces online. We’re always intentional about improving the customer experience at Pensacola International Airport, and a huge boost in parking right before the holidays does just that.”

At his weekly press conference, the mayor shared the latest airport statistics. “Our October 2024 traffic report compared to October of 2023 as usual; our total passenger counts were up over 15% over last year. And something we don’t often highlight is the cargo that’s moving through the airport. We’ve had the strongest cargo month this past October since the pandemic, and it’s up 139% compared to October of 2023 – nearly 2 million pounds over last year of cargo coming through Pensacola International.”
