Passenger Drop Off
You are permitted to drop off passengers and accompanying baggage at the terminal kerbside. However, due to Aviation Security requirements you must not leave the vehicle unattended at any time. Any vehicle left unattended will be subject to an immediate fine and may be towed. Also attended vehicles can only remain in the drop off area for a maximum of two minutes whilst unloading passengers.
Parking outside the Terminal is not permitted at any time.
If you wish to farewell your passengers and accompany them to the Terminal, take advantage of the short term car parking facilities and say a ‘long goodbye!’ Short Term Car Park rates start at $4.40 for up to 2 hours.
You may pick up passengers waiting for you at the front of the Terminal but only if all your passengers are kerbside and ready to depart with all their baggage.
Alternatively take the opportunity to park in the Short Term Car Park and venture into the terminal for a great cup of coffee and give them a Sunshine Coast welcome they’ll remember.
Flight arrival and departure times can be checked online before leaving home should you wish to avoid unnecessary waiting.
Disabled Access & Parking
Accessible parking for mobility impaired persons is available in the short and long term car parks. The spaces have been located to ensure easy access to pathways leading to the terminal building.
