A government spokesman pointed out that the present open-air
car park in front of the terminal building has space for only 350 cars
and this is usually fully occupied everyday.
The situation becomes worse on weekends when some familios drive
their children to the airport for a day of outing or for lunch in the
airport restaurant.
"This," the spokesman added, "has caused unnecessary inconvenience
to the genuine users of the airport."
A new multi-storey car park, which can hold four times as many
cars, has been included in the current expansion of the airport to cater for
the present and future requirements.
However, the first 800 spaces will not be available for use until
1975.
