ALBANY, GA —
The Southwest Georgia Regional Airport is getting some upgrades and roads will close while they are installed.

According to airport officials via a press release, the entrance to the airport terminal will be closed for construction on May 29th, 2012.

Contractors and subcontractors will be removing and installing new sewage, storm water, and water pipes across the road leading to the curbside of the terminal to the main city lines. Officials state in the release that they believe work will be finished by June 8th.

Airport officials advise that during this closure, airport employees, rental car and restaurant patrons, and passengers will have to either park their vehicles in the airport parking lot and walk to the terminal or vehicle drivers can pull up to the crosswalk, where the American and Georgia State flags are, and drop off their passengers. To gain access to the airport parking lot, all airport personnel and patrons will have to use the current airport exit lane. One lane (northern) will be utilized for entering the airport and the other lane (southern) will be utilized for exiting. The southern lane will be a right turn lane only. Temporary directional signs will be erected to direct employees and patrons of the new airport entrance and exit.

Current Rates:
            QuickPark Lot – $9.50 per day
            Long Term Lot – $8.50 per day
            Short Term Lot – $7.50 per day

New Rates, Effective June 1st, 2012:
            QuickPark Lot – $10 per day
            Long Term Lot – $9 per day
            Short Term Lot – $8 per day

A recent report produced by Unison Consulting ranked parking rates at Shreveport Regional Airport the lowest of 14 similarly-sized airports. Currently, the average parking revenue per passenger was approximately $8 per day. The average parking price at Shreveport Regional was approximately $5.50 per day. (see attached graphic).

The weekly rate will no longer be offered for the long-term lot. Shreveport Regional Airport is one of the few remaining airports in the country with a weekly rate, according to studies completed by Larry Donoghue, an airport parking consultant, and Unison Consulting, Inc.

ATLANTA -

The new international terminal officially opened for business at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Wednesday. Airport officials say the new space promises to change the flying experience for the millions of passengers—even if they never fly internationally.

The 1.2 million square-foot facility has been four years in the making, and it carries a $1.4 billion price tag.  A total of $1 billion of the expansion is funded by municipal bonds that will be repaid by passenger fees, while the remaining $400 million was picked up by the airlines.

Airport officials say streamlined travel is one advantage of the new facility. They also say it will allow more international and domestic flights into Hartsfield-Jackson and provide more jobs to the area for people like Derrick Smalls, who just started a job at a nearby airport parking lot.

“As far as the business is concerned, I hope that the business picks up a whole lot,” said Smalls.

Aviation General Manager Louis Miller said the new terminal created 3,000 jobs during its construction. He said the airport is adding 1,500 jobs in the airport, including concession vendors.

Still others have their doubts, including the watchdog group Common Cause Georgia. They say the hefty price tag doesn’t justify the additional fees charged to flyers and doubt whether it will encourage more international business.

“The case has been stated that this terminal was not needed, based on traffic patterns. It cost a lot more money than people were told in the very beginning. So we’re left to ask the question why was it paid for,” said Perry.

The new terminal adds 12 new gates to the airport, which already had 195 gates.  The first flight to leave from the 1.2 million square-foot facility departed for Tokyo at 1:25 p.m.  The flight is heading to Tokyo. Forty minutes later, the first arriving flight from Dublin, Ireland landed.

To get the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, you’ll need to take Interstate 75 to exit 239. Road crews unveiled new signs along I-75 leading to the new terminal late Tuesday night.

Some airport shuttle drivers told FOX 5 they were concerned that passengers could get confused and wind up at the wrong terminal, and perhaps even miss their flights. They do say that once you get used to it, getting to and from the new terminal is not a problem.

For those planning to park at the new terminal, Peachy Airport Parking has built a new 10-acre indoor lot located off of Sylvan Road for international travelers.

AIRPORT PARKING CHANGES

5/17/2012

Starting Friday, the hourly parking at Will Rogers Airport will be relocated to a temporary location in an adjacent parking garage.   The move will allow for repairs and upgrades to garage A, which currently accommodates short-term parkers.    Visitors picking up or dropping off passengers at the airport, or those planning to spend a short time in the terminal will now park in the first level of Garage C, which is the five-story garage next to the surface parking lot.

ALBANY, GA -

Southwest Georgia Regional Airport management issued a memo today outlining the planned closing of a major artery for ground traffic at the airport. The closure is necessary because underground pipes and sewer lines must be installed.

Here is the memo issued by airport officials-

On Tuesday, May 29, 2012, the entrance to the terminal will be closed for construction. The contractor and subcontractors will be removing and installing new sewage, storm water, and water pipes across the road leading to the curbside of the terminal.

 This work is expected to be completed by Friday, June 8, 2012 and is being done to connect the lines to the main city lines. During this closure, airport employees, rental car and restaurant patrons, and passengers will have to either park their vehicles in the airport parking lot and walk to the terminal or vehicle drivers can pull up to the crosswalk, where the American and Georgia State flags are, and drop off their passengers.

To gain access to the airport parking lot, all airport personnel and patrons will have to use the current airport exit lane. One lane (northern) will be utilized for entering the airport and the other lane (southern) will be utilized for exiting. The southern lane will be a right turn lane only. Temporary directional signs will be erected to direct employees and patrons of the new airport entrance and exit.

We are aware of the inconvenience this will cause but it is necessary to move forward on the construction of the new terminal. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (229) 430-5175.

St. John’s International Airport will double in size over the next 8 years. The Airport Authority held its annual meeting last evening in St. John’s.  Chair Darlene Whelan says the airport will add some 200-thousand square feet of new airport terminal space to accommodate the province’s growing economy.

 

 

A record 1.4-million passengers passed through the airport in 2011, more than any other year on record. By 2020 it’s predicted that some 1.9-million will pass through the airport terminals.

 

The airport will double in size by 2020, with some 200-thousand square feet being added to both the east and west ends of the existing building. More terminals, plane space, baggage and passenger areas will be added.

 

 

Starting in June, construction will begin on a new airport access road that will replace the road that has been used to enter the airport for decades. The new road will be built further up Portugal Cove road, and will bring visiting traffic to the east end of the airport for access. The existing road will be used for employee and truck traffic only.

 

 

She says this year people in the area will begin to notice changes in the airport parking lots as well as the construction of the new airport access road.

 

 

The installation of the $26-million CAT 3 ILS landing system will begin in July, and once complete will eliminate fog as a flight canceller for 70-thousand passengers annually.

 

 

As the province’s oil sector continues to flow and expand, it’s expected that all helicopter traffic to and from offshore oil rigs could end up passing through the airport to depart and arrive, instead of using the existing Cougar base now.

 

 

Construction and upgrades at the airport are not expected to disrupt airport operations in 2012, however delays and disruptions for travellers are expected to begin in 2013. Whelan says the long term benefits of the airport upgrades will outweigh the short term delays that are expected next year.

 

 

She says the current building is designed for 900-thousand people per year, a huge increase from the 1990s. Whelan says the renovations have been designed using a ‘conservative approach’.

? Be sure to arrive at least 90 minutes early, caution airport officials.

Passengers can expect longer lines than normal thanks to an uptick in passenger traffic, the installation of new security equipment and construction at the airport parking lot.

“Our passengers are accustomed to a very convenient airport with short lines and not much delay between the parking lot and the boarding gates,” Kevin Baker, the airport’s executive director, said in a statement. “We hope passengers will bear with us as we get through these transitions because we pride ourselves on being a very user-friendly airport.”

PTI is undergoing a $9 million facility improvement program to increase convenience and improve the passenger experience for travelers. It recently added free WiFi for passengers and is in the process of renovating the terminal building and concourse gate areas with charging stations, televisions and comfortable seating.

Parking at an airport can be a preflight headache. Now, instead of physically searching for a spot before their flight, some travelers book a parking space before they leave for the airport. These travelers certainly don’t want to spend as much time navigating a website to book the space as they would spend driving around the airport parking lot. This is why Airport Parking Reservations (APR), which allows travelers to book a parking spot at more than 85 airports in the United States and Canada through its website, refocused its online customer experience on ease of use.

The company performed a major website overhaul and launched the revamped website in 2010. “We wanted to have a more modern site, with more information, better maps, and clearer directions,” says Andy Maclean, APR’s online marketing manager.

Despite significant changes aimed at improving customer experience, the relaunch led to increased abandonment rates and decreased conversion rates on some pages. Maclean explains that the changes to the site seemed to backfire. Although the relaunched site presented search results more clearly than the previous version of the site and gave customers more information, “this seemed to put people off and they were [conducting fewer] searchers,” Maclean says. Even basic design elements, such as changing a particular color, seemed to distract customers from completing transactions.

The organization’s leadership needed to understand the drivers behind customers’ behavior to address the problems. It was imperative to know exactly what changes to make and how quickly to make them. APR had been using free web analytics to track its online property, but decided to invest in a more robust system that would allow deeper data mining to reveal better insights. The company implemented a testing tool from SiteSpect that allowed it to get deeper insight into customers’ online behavior.

 

Results

APR ran AB and multivariate tests on the relaunched site and was surprised by some of the results. For example, it tested a reservation-functionality color change from an orange “Reserve” button to a green icon with the words “Park Here.” This relatively small change increased conversions by 5 percent. Maclean notes that without the empirical data, the organization might never have known that such a change would lead to more conversions. “Something so apparently small had a significant impact on sales,” he says.

The company achieved another gain by moving the “Park Here” button closer to the security-provider logo. The company tested the new format against the previous one, and saw a 2.5 percent increase in sales. Maclean says the company was again surprised that a small change would lead to increased revenue.

APR also tested site navigation to determine where additional information was needed by examining how customers were getting to the parking-lot pages. Tests revealed that customers value reviews, so the company is making it easier not only to access reviews, but also encouraging customers to add more of them as part of its strategy to improve the customer experience. “There’s a correlation between an improved user experience and an improved bottom line,” Maclean says.

The company plans to continue to follow its customers’ online journey to ensure it’s a smooth one. APR will conduct ongoing usability tests to optimize its customer experience through ease-of-use changes, as well as launch a mobile-optimized site.

 

Lessons learned

Know your customers: Organizations need to put themselves in customers’ shoes to understand what they really want.

Test changes: Changes don’t always improve the customer experience as expected, so it’s imperative to test website changes for usability.

Be mobile-ready: Increase in smartphone and tablet adoption is putting pressure on organizations to have mobile-optimized sites.
