The arrivals and departures curbs are reserved for active loading and unloading only.

Active loading and unloading means immediate loading and unloading of persons and their belongings upon arrival at the curb.

Drivers should wait in the Cell Phone Lot for their passenger as vehicles are not permitted to park/wait along either curb. Our security team is vigilant and works to keep traffic moving and will refer drivers to the Cell Phone Lot to wait for their passenger(s).

Vehicles may not, under any circumstance, be left unattended in these areas. Infractions will be issued and vehicles will be towed if left unattended.

Cell Phone Lot

This free, dedicated parking area is available to drivers who are picking up passengers. Drivers wait in the comfort of their vehicle until the passenger arrives and sends them a mobile message.

Passengers should be outside waiting along the arrivals curb before the driver proceeds to the terminal. It takes 30-60 seconds for the driver to drive from the Cell Phone Lot to the arrivals curb.

The driver must stay in their vehicle at all times; unattended vehicles will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.

Commercial or ridesharing vehicles are not permitted to use this lot.

To access the lot, turn onto Air Cargo Private from Airport Parkway (at the light).

Idling is prohibited while parked in this lot, except during certain weather conditions. City of Ottawa By-law 2007-266
