Port of Huntsville Approves $57M 1,400-Space Airport Parking Expansion

Huntsville International Airport is undertaking a $57 million expansion to add over 1,400 parking spaces to its existing deck, increasing total capacity to more than 5,400 spaces. The six-story expansion aims to improve convenience and traffic flow for travelers amid record-breaking passenger growth over the past two years. Construction, expected to start by the end of 2025 and last about two years, will include a reconfigured entry plaza with separate access points for deck and surface parking. The project is funded primarily through $40 million in airport revenue bonds, supplemented by the airport's capital funds, and is being constructed by Robins & Morton with design services from KPS. Airport officials emphasize that the expansion is essential to accommodate growing demand without compromising user-friendliness, with a focus on maintaining low parking rates and excellent customer service. Temporary changes to traffic patterns around the construction zone will occur during the build phase.
