0bserver Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It looks like the airport car park was generating around half a million quid before covid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Car par should use anpr so that you pay when you leave. Surely makes sense in case of flight delays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's DOI scoping out the barrier system required they will probably come out with something that costs £2.5m I guess the other question is what level of demand now exists for the car park... anecdotally the car park is very busy at the moment.

Airport management won't get out of bed to look at a project that doesn't involve more than £5 million. You can't possibly expect business geniuses of their calibre to get involved in such piddling affairs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure was busy the last few times I recently had to use it. I was surprised parking was still free to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 From Tynwald questions last week answered by the DoI Minister: "The barriers are broken on the car park, and we are looking at the moment to replace those and the whole system down there for paying at the Airport. (...) We are still in the situation where we are getting prices for the new barriers and machinery, Mr President. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
