Airport Parking on Farms

Any farmer close to an airport considering using his land for parking should consider the following:-

• Closeness to Airport and quality of access roads
• Planning requirements, complaints from neighbours
• Whether fields will be accessible all year round or just the summer
• Use of wet weather matting
• General security, natural barriers such as rivers
• Insurance for vehicles, drivers
• Whether parking will just be for long term storage, with shuffling of cars to a on-airport parking on the day of owners return

Farmers may think it preferable simply renting the land to parking companies for an monthly fee
