Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport Master Plan
The airport has taken its parking management technology to a future-proof solution,
in order to provide more effective system management and enhanced customer
experience, and to build a state-of-the-art facility to meet future demand.
To achieve these goals, Clinton National Airport awarded the contract to NextGen
Parking, one of DESIGNA’s U.S. Business Partners. NextGen Parking’s installation is part
of the airport’s $2.8 million parking improvement program, which replaced the parking
management system and outdated equipment that was nearly 15 years old. With the
new DESIGNA system, Clinton National Airport became the first airport in the U.S. to
achieve EMV-ready credit card implementation.

Motorists using the parking deck at Clinton National now enjoy a high-tech parking guidance
system to save them time and reduce stress while hunting a parking spot. Brightly colored
lighting, which works off of sensors, will direct drivers to open spaces within the parking
deck. Clinton National is the first parking facility within the state of Arkansas and one of the
first airports in the country to incorporate this level of technology.
