GAINESVILLE, Fla.,Sep. 12, 2025 — Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) is pleased to announce their new parking garage has opened to the public.

“GNV is happy to open this great new amenity to our customers and visitors,” said Allan Penksa, GNV CEO. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and support over the last few months and hope they find the ability to Park Easy at GNV will be a convenient addition that is worth the wait.”

For now, passengers can park on the first three levels, while the top floor of the garage undergoes some finishing touches.. In addition, the bus, Uber, Lyft and taxi lanes will not be operational until next week. In the meantime, passengers may still access those services from the airport curb.

  • Four-story, 418-space parking garage (includes 16 electric vehicle charging stations); three stories of the garage are covered, shielding vehicles and passengers from the elements
  • Intermodal Transportation Center allows passengers to access RTS Bus, Taxi, ridesharing
