Charlottetown Airport to raise parking fees starting February 1

Charlottetown Airport will raise parking fees starting February 1. Short-term rates will increase by 16% to $1.75 every 30 minutes, while long-term rates will rise by 6%. The changes aim to fund a new parking system. The new system, expected in spring 2025, will modernize operations and reduce disruptions. The airport's CEO noted that current rates remain lower than those at competing airports in the region. Additionally, discussions are underway to increase the passenger fee from $25 to $30, which would still be the lowest in Atlantic Canada. A decision on this fee increase is expected soon, with a minimum 60-day notice before implementation.
