The parking crunch at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport will ease slightly, at least for the short term, following the City Plan Commission’s unanimous approval of Tweed operator Avports LLC’s application to increase its past parking expansion by 34 spaces. Parking has been an issue at Tweed as Avelo Airlines continues to grow. During holiday peak periods, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, existing parking came close to filling up some days. “More parking at the airport means less traffic in the neighborhood, which is a top priority for everyone,” said Michael Jones, CEO of Avports subsidiary The New HVN LLC, Thursday. “More parking also means a more predicable passenger experience as we approach spring and summer.” Wednesday’s decision followed a nearly three-hour continuation of a public hearing that began with nearly five hours of public testimony on Jan. 25. City Plan Commission members said at that time that they were moved enough by neighbors’ concerns about runoff to want to study it further.
