New parking deck planned at Huntsville International Airport

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority is in the process of planning a new parking deck at Huntsville International Airport.

Butch Roberts, the CEO of the Port of Huntsville, said the planned parking deck is needed due to double-digit growth in traffic at the airport.

Roberts said the new parking deck could have as many as 1,300 and 1,400 spaces and be located adjacent to the current parking deck.

“It allows us to have better customer service and continue to grow,” he said. “If people want to use our airport, they can park right next to it, very close to their gate, walk in quickly, and stay out of the weather.”

On Wednesday, the board approved the option to issue bonds to pay for a new parking deck. Roberts said it’s hoped that the parking deck will have a design this summer and be able to move forward by the end of 2025.

Roberts added the airport has reached a demand for 90% of the existing parking deck.
