Holiday Travel Made Easier: Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport Launches New, Improved Parking Reservation Experience with AeroParker

New Partnership Enhances the Traveler Journey While Unlocking Operational Efficiency for the Airport

The Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is today announcing a new partnership with AeroParker, part of Metropolis' fully integrated airport mobility platform, to expand its existing end-to-end parking and reservation services. This will deliver a more seamless, streamlined journey for passengers, just in time for the busy holiday travel season.

"Passenger traffic for this year's holiday travel is up about 7% in scheduled capacity compared to last year with more than 104,000 departing seats scheduled from December 21 through January 4," said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority, which owns and operates SDF. "Travelers will be able to take advantage of our new partnership with AeroParker to help simplify the travel journey and offer even more ease and flexibility when determining their parking options."

AeroParker enables customers to book parking up to four hours before arrival at one of SDF's five convenient self-parking options. Travelers can now manage and amend their own reservations directly online, including changes due to flight delays or cancellations - a key feature not previously available. Two booking options are available: non-flex (no cancellation protection) and flex (cancellation protection for an additional $1 fee). To take advantage of this new parking experience and reserve a space ahead of travel at SDF, passengers can visit SDFPark.com.

The new reservation system is applicable to the five self-park options at SDF - the Garage, Surface Lot, Premier East Lot, Premier West Lot and the Express Shuttle Lot. Since 2020, more than $8 million has been invested in new or expanded parking options at the airport through the SDF Next Program, a robust capital improvement initiative for both the terminal and airfield. With these improvements, overall parking capacity has increased by 23% during this time.

With the launch of AeroParker's parking reservation platform, SDF - which saw more than 4.8 million passengers in 2024 - now joins an exclusive group of airports and transportation hubs that offer travelers a smoother, more intuitive digital parking experience. AeroParker is trusted by more than 30 leading airports across the U.S., including San Francisco International Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.

With AeroParker and Metropolis now fully integrated as one company, holiday travelers at SDF will benefit from the airport's commitment to delivering modern, traveler-first digital services - from reserving a parking space online to seamless entry and exiting of the parking facilities. Metropolis is already partnered with more than 75 U.S. airports and its seamless checkout-free technology is rolling out across airports, including San Antonio International, and expanding nationwide. This integration creates new opportunities for SDF to serve its passengers and enhance operational efficiency across its parking assets.
