Pick-up & Drop-off
To keep the traffic moving along, the pick-up/drop-off zone at the front of the terminal is only for the immediate pick-up of arriving passengers or drop-off of departing passengers. Conditions and time limits apply.
Plan ahead and ask your passenger to text or call you when they are ready to be picked-up. When they are ready to go, head to the pick-up/drop-off zone in front of the terminal.
You can avoid unnecessary wait times by checking the flight arrival and departures times on our website before leaving home.
Due to Aviation Security requirements, vehicles must not be left unattended in the pick-up/drop-off zone. Unattended vehicles or vehicles exceeding the time limit in the drop-off zone are infringements and offenders will be fined or may be towed.
Recovery of towed vehicles will be at a cost to the owner. Parking in the terminal drop-off zone is not permitted at any time. For more information about our parking options click here.
