United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), a leading commercial real estate and facilities management company, announced that it has commenced operations of the parking lot and related facilities at the Kuwait International Airport’s Terminal 4 (T4) on 7 February 2019.
The T4 parking lot holds a total capacity of 2,457 shaded parking spaces (657 in the long-term parking and 1,800 in the short-term parking – divided into two parking lots, which includes 650 parking spots dedicated for employee access only).
The pricing scheme at T4 parking as set by DGCA is as follows for the short term parking 500 fils for the first hour, 500 fils for the second hour and KD 1 per hour for each additional hour or a portion of an hour thereafter. The long term parking area costs are set at KD 2 per day.
The short term parking lot is located just a short walk away from the satellite building, where passengers can access the terminal building easily by crossing the departure bridge which is connected directly to the terminal. In addition, UPAC is providing travellers golf carts to transport them from the long term parking directly to the terminal, to ensure passengers enjoy faster and more convenient access.
The parking lots utilize state-of-the-art parking equipment, including technologies such as license plate recognition technology, and automated entry and exit lanes, installed and managed by UPAC. In addition, UPAC has installed Auto Pay Stations within the satellite building for swift and convenient customer payment, further facilitating customers’ entrance and exit to the T4 terminal.
Nadia Akil, UPAC Chief Executive Officer, said, “With the holiday season approaching and increased travellers through Kuwait International Airport’s terminals, we are providing our customers with ample parking across Terminal 1, and Terminal 4. Our team worked closely with IIAC and the DGCA to ensure we commenced operations swiftly. We extend our thanks to both IIAC and DGCA for all their support during the set-up process, and look forward to providing our customers with the highest standards of services at the new terminal.”
In November 2018, UPAC signed a five-year concession contract with the Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC), for the development operation and management of the T4 parking lot and related facilities. T4 is the dedicated terminal for Kuwait Airways.
