Guests at Kelowna International Airport can now pay for parking using their mobile phones.
YLW has teamed up with the PayByPhone app to deliver the service.
It works on meters located along the front curb, across from the terminal.
“Contactless payment is an additional health and safety measure we are implementing at YLW,” said Sam Samaddar, Kelowna International Airport’s director.
“The new mobile parking app is an easy, simple process to pay for metered parking during your next visit to YLW.”
To use the apps, guests need only download the app, open it, then enter their parking spot and length of stay.
They can then pay directly through the app.
Guests will be sent a text before their session expires, too, allowing them to extend their stay remotely if necessary.
“We’re excited to be adding YLW to the growing list of airports where PayByPhone is simplifying and modernizing the parking experience,” said Roamy Valera, PayByPhone CEO.
“We’re not new to the Kelowna area, but we’re glad to be expanding our presence where travellers are looking for a safer, and more convenient way to pay for parking while they travel.”
YLW said its existing infrastructure had reached “end of life” and that the replacement was necessary.
