Des Moines International Airport has launched a new EZ Pickup program that aims to simplify the passenger pickup process, reduce congestion at the front curb and improve the travel experience during ongoing terminal construction. The program allows drivers to wait for up to 2 hours, free of charge, in a designated section of the airport’s parking garage while their passengers make their way from the airport. To help enforce this change and ensure safety, curbside pickup will be strictly limited to active pickups only, meaning the passenger must be present and ready with their luggage. Vehicles waiting or left unattended at the curb will be subject to citations. “With the temporary limitations on space during construction, curbside pickups are no longer a sustainable option,” Brian Mulcahy, the airport’s CEO, said in a prepared statement. “EZ Pickup is designed to shift the pickup process to a safer and more convenient location.”
