Starting Monday, October 1, 2018, the Augusta Regional Airport will heighten enforcement of unattended vehicles and extended parking adjacent to the terminal building.  Vehicle stopping will be limited to immediate loading and unloading only.  Since 9/11, the Transportation Security Administration has directed that this measure be taken at U.S. Commercial Service Airports. 

The Augusta Regional Airport, with the assistance of the Augusta-Richmond County Marshals Office, will strictly enforce this rule.  Violators may be subject to citations and/or have their vehicles towed.

If you require extended time to wait for or see off passengers, the Airport has now opened a new Cell Phone Lot by the white building adjacent to the paid parking lots. The Airport also provides free parking for the first 30 minutes in the Short/Long Term parking lots.

 Should you or your party need assistance accessing the terminal or help with luggage, the Airport employs customer service personnel called PALS (Passenger Assistance Liaisons) who can be identified by a royal blue polo.  Lastly, the Airport is working on additional measures to make the facility more accessible and heighten the customer experience.  Many of these projects can be viewed at http://www.flyags.com/advancinggrowingstronger.

For more information on the legislation associated with this enforcement, please review the Augusta Richmond County ordinance (C.O. 3-5-93) and State Statue (OCGA 40-6-203).
