SPOKANE — Responding to rapid growth, the Spokane International Airport is expanding its parking by 1,300 spaces.
The 12-acre-lot expansion will be near the cellphone waiting lot. It will be built in the western elbow of land at the intersection of West Airport Drive and McFarlane Road. The lot is expected to open in November.
Currently, the airport has nearly 8,000 parking spots in it garages, economy, concourse C and outside lots. The new lot will bring that total to 9,236 spaces.
Airport spokesman Todd Woodard said the airport board has not yet determined the lot’s rates, but said it will be an expansion of the economy lot served by the airport’s shuttle buses.
Current rates for the existing economy lot are $4 a day, which includes free shuttle service. Parking garages are $10 a day, with outside parking $8 a day and concourse C parking $7.50 per day.
