10 Airport Parking Problems and Solutions

Customer Dissatisfaction

Airport Customer Dissatisfaction

When it comes to airport parking, customer frustration is a recurring issue. We’ve all been in a situation when desperately circling the parking lot in need of a parking space already running late for a flight. Driving around and getting stuck in long lines makes people nervous and stressed. It could also lead to missing the flight. No one wants to have stressed customers entering the Terminal building. What is more, if parking problems occur regularly, passengers may start using private parking facilities resulting in airports losing income. In order to prevent negative impressions, it is important to have a well-managed parking system with clear navigation.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

The set of Parklio™ products and solutions allows you to manage and control the navigation and traffic flow according to your wishes and needs.


Traffic flow

To avoid long lines and congestion, it’s important to manage traffic flow and optimize travelers’ time at the airport. Sometimes it can be difficult for passengers to figure out where to park without knowing the airport organization and regulations. To prevent wasting time and cycling through different airport locations looking for an available spot, an effective parking system should be implemented. Having real-time information regarding available parking spots is critical. A display showing occupancy in real-time would prevent clogging at entrances and exits. A well-managed parking system would completely optimize the traffic flow.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Detect and Display helps you to create efficient traffic flow. With Parklio™ products and solutions you’ll be able to manage airport parking lots and optimize parking lots.

Unnecessary Traffic and Huge Congestion

Unnecessary Traffic and Huge Congestion

Since airports’ ground capacities are limited, parking lots quickly fill up. With so many vehicles coming in and out, traffic becomes extremely congested. Vehicles entering already congested parking lots cause chaos. Unnecessary traffic is caused by vehicles circling to find the parking spot closest to the Terminal. Having real-time occupancy data displayed would alleviate the issue. Congestions on the exit are also a common occurrence. It happens for a variety of reasons, but the most common one is a lack of payment stations around parking lots.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Having real-time information will upgrade parking management of any airport parking lot or garage. Real-time data showing the occupancy is essential to prevent massive congestions from occurring daily.

Parking monetization

Due to the general constant increase in airport passenger traffic, most airports have seen a significant rise in parking activities. Airport parking operations represent a significant portion of the airport's commercial income sources. Payment platforms are one of the most successful and efficient ways to monetize parking facilities. Airports should keep in mind that paying for parking with credit cards is quick and convenient.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Terminal is a new standard for fast, fully autonomous and contactless parking payment. It offers multiple payment solutions, such as paying on the exit or pay on foot terminals. Once the user makes the payment, the gate at the exit will automatically open.

Universal payment acceptance

Up to 80 million travelers travel through the busiest airport hubs in Europe, the United States, and Asia every year. With that many people from all around the world, it is important to think about details. When parking is already congested due to a large number of vehicles, it is critical to minimize clogging at exits. Cloggings occur when payment problems happen. Parking machines may only take specific credit cards or don’t accept credit cards at all. If passengers aren't aware of it before the parking exit, they will create a traffic jam. In order to have unobstructed flow, paying for parking has to operate smoothly. Also, a payment system should support all credit cards.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Terminal is an efficient solution for automatizing entry and exit points in airport parking lots or parking garages. The terminal will be able to accept credit cards from all around the world to prevent exit clogging.

Dedicated Parking Spots for Kiss&Fly

Dedicated Parking Spots for Kiss&Fly

Airports throughout the world have already started implementing the Kiss&Fly zone. It allows easy pick-up and drop-off at the airport without seeking a parking spot. Vehicles can easily pull over at the Terminal’s entrance for several minutes to help passengers with their luggage. Kiss&Fly zone improves traffic organization, ensuring safety and smoothness of traffic at the Terminal. Avoiding parking violations such as overstaying at the parking lot is critical to maintain the optimal flow. A monitoring system should detect and regulate the length of time that cars spend in the zone.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Detect will provide you with real-time information on parking occupancy and parking violations. It is essential to have the information so you could prevent overstaying and long lines.


Dedicated Parking Spots for Taxis and Shuttle Buses

Dedicated Parking Spots for Taxis and Shuttle Buses

Airports are areas where shuttle buses and taxis create parking issues, especially when there aren't any designated parking places. They cause overcrowding, long queues and unnecessary waiting time. This is particularly true with shuttle buses, which take up more space and carry more passengers. In a matter of minutes, they may fully block the airport entrance. Designated parking places would prevent substantial traffic congestion and help to alleviate the situation.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

With Parklio™ smart parking protection secure parking spots for taxis and shuttle buses and prevent clogging near the Terminal building. Also, Parklio™ PMS enables you to have control over any product from your office.


Dedicated Parking Spots for Employees or Airlines Personnel

Since parking is such a profitable business, airport management sometimes overlooks the need for designated parking spaces for airport personnel. Employees at airports serve passengers and deal with stressful situations, therefore it's critical that management also considers their satisfaction. Employees who spend a lot of time looking for a parking spot will be irritated when they arrive at work shift. Dedicated parking spaces are important also to airline employees. Cabin crew members are often gone for several days or even weeks at a time, so it's critical they have a safe place to park their vehicle.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ products are smartphone-controlled which means it is easy to send digital keys to all employees through the application and enable them to park without any stress. Parklio™’ smart parking barrier is a high-quality barrier with a robust and modern design that can be customized with logotypes and different colors.


Forgetting the location of a parked vehicle

Imagine how frustrating it must be to return after a vacation and forget where you left your car. Even with all technology wonders, people end up walking up and down the parking lot carrying luggage and stressing out. People get frustrated when they’re not able to locate the vehicle after several attempts of searching the parking lot. With a parking system that recognizes license plate numbers, the problem of forgetting the car location in maze-like parking lots would be solved.

PARKLIO™ SOLUTION

Parklio™ Locator detects the exact location of the car at the airport parking lot. Along with the ANPR, the system detects passenger’s license plates when entering the parking lot so it could lead you to your vehicle.

Personalized parking protection is also a great way of branding and promoting a business. People arriving at the airport will be able to see which companies are there immediately. Also, with personalized parking protection, businesses can have parking spots dedicated to their employees.
