Part 1: Persons with assistive devices (Hand-control vehicles, wheelchairs, etc.)

Once arrangements are made with the parking office, any vehicle being operated by a person with a disability or in which a person with a disability is a passenger will be greeted by a PNF driver who will assist in loading passenger(s) onto shuttle bus.

Any vehicle being operated by a person with a disability or in which a person with a disability is a passenger will be greeted by a service attendant who will assist in the registration of the vehicle for parking and explain the parking procedure below.

Once the vehicle has been registered, the service attendant will accompany the customer in the customer vehicle to the appropriate departures location at the airport terminal. After the customer has successfully and completely departed the vehicle for entry into the airport terminal building, the service attendant will drive the customer’s vehicle back to the parking operation.

Upon return, the customer will telephone the parking operation to advise the service attendant of his/her return. The dispatcher will arrange for the customer vehicle to be driven by a service attendant to pick up the customer from the airport terminal building to be returned to the parking operation.

Upon return to Park’N Fly, the location staff will assist the customer in the payment of the parking fees and closing the transaction.
