Palm Beach International Airport shuts down short-term, premium parking lots for months
Long-term and economy lots to remain open at the airport, county officials say
Mike DiamondWEST PALM BEACH — The short-term and premium parking lots at Palm Beach International Airport have been closed for cleaning, maintenance, and repairs. It will be several months before they reopen.
The long-term and economy lots remain open and offer plenty of parking, according to airport officials. Both lots are a short walk to the terminal. The long-term lot has elevated walking bridges to the terminal. The economy lot offers shuttle service.
The periodic closures of the garages are necessary to ensure the safety of passengers and their vehicles, Laura Beebe, Palm Beach County's director of airports, said in a news release.

Palm Beach International Airport serves more than 6.8 million passengers annually and offers 200 nonstop flights daily with 13 airlines. Air traffic has returned to pre-pandemic levels.
