Srinagar, Jul 31: The Srinagar international airport is all set to get advanced automated parking system as the Airports Authority of India is implementing the initiative across the country.
In a statement, issued to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Srinagar airport director Javed Anjum said that the AAI is coming up with an advanced automated parking system, specially designed to enhance parking experience of passengers and visitors, while minimising human interference.
He said that the main feature of this parking system is that it is inherently designed with reasonable and logical tariffs calculated on the basis of dwell time which will make it fair and transparent.
“The system will have time stamping at four designated points within the airport and parking to enhance accountability and ensure accuracy,” the statement reads.
It reads that the vehicle will be mapped at entry point and will be allowed a reasonable time of 14 minutes to enter the airport for drop off and pick up of passengers.
“If the vehicle doesn’t cross airport exit within free time of 14 minutes, it will be charged 15 slab of parking fee of Rs 40. However, there is no free time for commercial vehicles,” it reads.
It added that if the vehicle enters parking area of the airport, the charges will be applicable based on the time spent in parking.
“The permissible free time from parking exit to airport exit will be 5 minutes. Further to enhance convenience and to provide seamless experience, the parking system will be integrated with Fastag technology allowing for quicker exits,” it read—(KNO)
