SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) is now offering a new parking-shuttle service.
The Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA), which operates the Syracuse airport, says the service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, per its Feb. 19 announcement.
The shuttles, which are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant, provide complimentary service between the Economy Parking Lot and Arrivals A bus lane near door 1 of the south arrivals curbline, the SRAA said.
The airport authority went on to say that as demand for parking at SYR has grown, so has the footprint of parking offerings across the 2,300-acre airport property.
To better accommodate customers parking a greater distance from the airport terminal, discussions began in early 2024 to bring a parking-shuttle service to the Syracuse airport, SRAA said. As parking further expands away from the terminal building this year, the shuttle will also provide service to the newly planned Overflow Parking Lot, which will be relocated along Air Cargo Road from its current location near terminal B.
Operating on a round-trip loop, the SRAA says the shuttles feature perimeter seating versus forward-facing seating. That type of seating allows easier passenger boarding and more space for luggage, strollers, and other belongings.
The four shuttles comprising the service will each feature the SmartDrive system, “allowing enhanced safety” through artificial intelligence (AI)-powered driver monitoring and real-time feedback.
“We’re incredibly excited to introduce this shuttle service for travelers using the Economy Lot,” Jason Mehl, SRAA chief commercial officer, said in the announcement. “Our goal is to make airport parking as seamless and stress-free as possible, and this shuttle provides a convenient, reliable, and comfortable way for passengers to get to and from the terminal. We know traveling can be hectic, so we’re always looking for ways to make the journey easier — and this shuttle is another step toward improving the overall travel experience at SYR.”
