P2 Drop-Off Zone
FREE
For some visitors, a simple ‘pash n dash’ farewell is all you need to say bye to loved ones or friends. Located directly outside the departure terminal, the two-minute zone is for drop-offs only by private passengers who’ve already said the long goodbye and just want to drop off passengers quickly and conveniently right at the terminal.
The drop-off zone is not for use by commercial operators.
P20 Express Parking
Pick-Up & Drop-ff
There’s no need to rush in and out of the airport as we offer priority parking for visits less than 20 minutes with the first 10 minutes free in the designated pick-up/drop-off parking bays within terminal car park A. These are located nearest the terminal and signposted P20.
All you need to do is take a ticket at the barrier arm when entering the car park and park in the clearly marked pick-up/drop-off zones located in the first five rows of Terminal car park A in front of the terminal building. There are three P20 bays dedicated to mobility users.
If you’re parked for less than 10 minutes, there’s no need to validate your ticket – just insert it into the barrier arm machine when exiting.
If you plan to stay longer than 20 minutes, please park in non P20 spaces and validate your ticket at the pay station then insert it into the barrier arm machine when exiting.
Short & Long Stay Parking
