Calgary airport to convert Lexus-only stalls back to disabled parking
Calgary International Airport has apologized for moving parking stalls reserved for those with disabilities and setting up a Lexus marketing campaign in their place.
The pavement in the parking spots close to the terminal had recently been painted to indicate they were reserved for drivers of the luxury car. New stalls for those with disabilities were displaced to the row just behind.
The issue was initially brought to the airport’s attention by a man who saw the stalls being painted while he was dropping off his mother, said Jody Moseley, the Calgary Airport Authority’s senior director of corporate communications and stakeholder relations.
It wasn’t long before outrage started spreading on social media.
