ALEXANDRIA, La. (December 22, 2025) – Alexandria International Airport (AEX) is proud to announce its partnership with Metropolis to implement its drive-in, drive-out AI technology and comprehensive parking services. This collaboration will simplify the travel experience, making it more convenient and stress-free for passengers.

 

AEX travelers can prepare for the new parking services immediately by downloading the Metropolis app or scanning a QR code at the parking lot beginning January 5, 2026. To create an account, users must provide their mobile phone number, license plate number, and payment method. On-site license-plate readers ensure automatic payment once the vehicle exits the parking lot, with confirmation provided via text to the account holder.

 

“With an impressive legacy of operating broader aviation services at more than 75 airports, Metropolis has the technology and expertise to provide a more seamless and efficient parking experience for our travelers,” stated Ralph Hennessy, Executive Director of England Airpark and AEX. “This rollout underscores our focus on delivering an enhanced journey from the moment travelers arrive until they leave AEX.”

 

“At Metropolis, our mission is to remove friction from the airport experience by delivering an easy-to-use service in the form of checkout-free payments,” said Rob Mitchell, Vice President of Aviation at Metropolis. “By pairing our computer-vision technology with AEX’s focus on operational efficiency and passenger experience, we’re setting the tone for a better trip for all AEX passengers.”
