Juneau airport offers free parking & waiting options

As air travel begins to increase, please remember the free and paid parking/waiting options when you pick up and drop off passengers at the Juneau International Airport. You can park for free in the Short Term lot for up to 15 minutes or wait for free at the Cell Phone Lot. Here are the details:

  • Short Term parking, which is the lot closest to the terminal, offers 15 minutes of free parking. This is useful if you need to go inside the terminal for any reason, like to help a passenger collect bags from the baggage carousel or to help a passenger get to the vehicle. After the first 15 minutes, the Short Term parking lot becomes a paid option; up to 60 minutes costs $3. The adjacent Long Term parking lot is another paid parking option.
  • A free Cell Phone Lot waiting area is located near Alaska Industrial Hardware. This is an ideal place to wait while a passenger is disembarking the plane and getting luggage. The driver must remain with the vehicle at this lot.

As a reminder, it is prohibited to park, wait, or leave your vehicle unattended on the front curb of the Juneau International Airport terminal. The penalty for doing so is $100. The only thing that can take place on the front curb is active loading and unloading.

Please note: The rental car parking lot and the taxi staging areas cannot be used for parking of any kind, either short- or long-term parking.

With terminal construction taking place and sometimes blocking one lane of traffic, it is important to follow the airport parking rules to maintain safe traffic flow.

For more information, please contact the Airport Manager’s Office at 789-7821.

Wearing masks on public transportation & at airport is a CBJ requirement. It’s also federal law.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Juneau, members of the public have long been required to wear a mask on public transportation and at the Juneau International Airport. As of last month, the rule is also a federal law. Capital Transit, CAPITAL AKcess, and the Juneau International Airport require proper wearing of face masks at all times. Failure to comply will result in denial of service on Capital Transit and CAPITAL AKcess; or removal or denial of entry at the airport.

  • You must wear a mask that has two or more layers of a breathable fabric that is tightly woven over your mouth and nose at all times when riding a Capital Transit or CAPITAL AKcess bus, at bus stops, and at transit centers; as well as at the airport.
  • The following face coverings are not authorized and are not substitutes for a double-layered mask: plastic face shields, masks with valves, ski masks, scarves, bandannas, single layer gators, loose knitted material used as a face covering, and coat cuffs.
  • Children under the age of 2 are exempt from the law, as well as those who need a medical exemption.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Order implements President Biden’s Executive Order 13998, “Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel.” The Transportation Security Administration also issued a Security Directive requiring masks.

For more information, contact Capital Transit at 789-6901 or the Juneau International Airport at 789-7821.
