Sumburgh Airport Car Park Update

Between Thurs 24 July – Fri 1 Aug 2025, we will be carrying out work on our car park system at Sumburgh Airport and from 20 August 2025, the previous parking charges will be reinstated.

The work will include the replacement of car park barriers, the installation of new cameras with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology and the introduction of a cashless payment system. Parking will continue to be available at this time.

Once installed, there will then be a grace period where no car park charges will be made until Wednesday 20 August, when the previous parking charges will be reinstated. Parking for stays starting prior to and continuing past 20 August will only be charged from 00:01 hours on 20 August.”

These will be free for the first two hours and then £3 per 24 hours thereafter. Exemptions for inter-island and NHS passengers, as well as Blue Badge holders will apply. More information available here
