Bristol Airport has announced that Blue Badge holders will receive 40 minutes parking for a reduced fee of £5 and will no longer have to go to the Special Assistance Desk to get an exit pass. The changes, which come into force from Tuesday, May 2, have been introduced following a meeting between the airport and the disability forum.
Currently Blue Badge holders have to go to the Special Assistance Desk inside the terminal to get an exit pass to leave the car park in a 30-minute time allocation. This time restriction was a challenge for many disabled customers, particularly those using wheelchairs.
Bristol Airport has implemented new technology which will allow for Blue Badge holders to drive directly to the exit barrier and scan their Blue Badge. This involves scanning the barcode on the reverse side of the badge and receiving 40 minutes of parking for a reduced fee of £5.
