No parking fees required for ‘pick and drop’ for 15 minutes at TIA

Drivers using the 'pick and drop' service at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) will now benefit from a 15-minute grace period without incurring parking fees. The TIA Office has implemented this change to better serve passengers needing to drop off or pick up individuals.

Previously, the 'pick and drop' service allowed for only seven minutes without a fee. Airport officials recognized this duration was insufficient and decided to extend it for added convenience. The new 15-minute window aims to provide a more comfortable experience for travelers and those assisting them.

Sanjay Kumar, spokesperson for TIA Office, stated that this arrangement is currently on a trial basis for one month. He emphasized that strict action will be taken against any personnel found charging fees in violation of this new policy. This initiative reflects an effort to improve passenger services and streamline airport operations.
