The new service, launched in partnership with Stanley Robotics, is now available to book ahead of its first customer journeys in August. Eliminating the hassle of searching for a parking space, the technology gets passengers from their car to the terminal more quickly while making more efficient use of airport parking capacity.
Instead of driving around a car park looking for an available space, passengers simply drive into a private enclosed cabin near the South Terminal and scan their booking.
