Trivandrum: Thiruvananthapuram International Airport has scaled up its automated vehicle parking system with the introduction of the FASTag system. The airport is introducing this upgraded solution to its parking system for passengers, visitors who come to see their families off, and those coming to the airport for meetings and park their vehicles in the designated parking lot.
According to a press release, this is a welcome addition to the airport’s consistent endeavour to provide the best-in-class technology that benefits passenger convenience and enhances their travel experience. To facilitate a smooth and quick flow of traffic movement, the airport has designated a lane each at entry and exit for passengers using the FASTag option. With FASTag, vehicle movement will be fast and reduce the dwell time for passengers waiting to enter/exit the airport, thus helping save on time and fuel, the airport spokesperson said.
The main advantage of FASTag is that it eliminates the need for cash transactions, resulting in quicker and more convenient parking options for all. Passengers thus can experience parking without manual intervention such as waiting for a parking receipt or making cash/credit payments at the entrance or exit, thus making the overall experience seamless. Travellers with FASTag should ensure that their FASTag is active and has sufficient balance for a seamless exit.
Passengers entering through the designated FASTag lane at entry should follow the same lane at exit. Passengers need to pay the standard parking rate; no additional cost is added for this facility. The airport has upgraded the signages at both entry and exit indicating the FASTag lane. The airport regularly upgrades its technology offering to help improve the day-to-day operations within the airport for a seamless passenger experience.
As seamless as it is, the airport has also considered the needs of passengers who may travel without a FASTag. These passengers will continue following the manual parking process and pass-through lanes which do not have a FASTag facility.
