HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Huntsville International Airport will be adding over 1,400 parking spaces for passengers flying in and out of the Rocket City.
The Board of Directors of the Port of Huntsville approved the expansion of the Huntsville International Airport (HSV) parking facilities at a meeting on Tuesday.
The $57 million project will add more than 1,400 parking spaces to the existing parking deck, which can currently hold 2,394 vehicles.
“As our community grows, it’s more important than ever for the airport to meet increasing demand by seeking to expand air service and enhancing amenities,” said Joey Ceci, Board Chair for the Port of Huntsville. “This ensures that we continue to deliver the convenience and exceptional service our passengers expect.”
During the build phase, customers can expect changes in traffic patterns around the construction zone, adjacent to the inbound side of Glenn Hearn Blvd.
“We’re excited that growing demand to fly through HSV has given us the opportunity to expand with a larger parking deck,” said Butch Roberts, CEO, Huntsville International Airport. “Our business travelers especially enjoy the short walk from a covered parking space to the terminal.”
The expanded parking deck will be six stories tall to match the existing deck and will increase total deck parking to more than 5,400 spaces. The entry plaza will be reconfigured into two separate plazas, one for deck parking and one for surface parking.
Huntsville International has achieved record-breaking passenger traffic for the last two years.
Construction on the parking deck expansion is expected to begin before the end of the year and is expected to take two years to complete.
