Parking at the Trail Regional Airport just became more expensive.
City council approved a significant increase in airport parking fees on Monday.
Instead of the current rate of $3 per day or $15 per week, users will now be charged $5 per day or $30 per week to park their vehicles.
This represents a 66.7 per cent increase in daily parking, and a 100 per cent increase in weekly parking.
City staff noted the new rates will significantly boost airport revenue and better align with parking fees at similar airports, including the West Kootenay Regional Airport, which charges $8 per day or $50 per week.
The city added that the increase will help the airport to keep pace with rising labour costs, utilities, and the price of goods and services, while remaining competitive with other airports.
