Throughout the airport there are disabled facilities like specially adapted toilets, ramps and lifts, but there are also specially designated parking spaces for the disabled and people with reduced mobility.

Penang International Airport parking is located within an easy walking distance of the passenger terminal. At present the airport is undergoing expansion as a new low-cost carrier terminal is under construction. This is causing the occasional delays at peak times, when passengers are trying to get in and out of the car parks. Departures from Penang Airport should leave plenty of time for parking and check-in.

For just a quick pick up or drop off in the long- and short-term parking facilities passengers are charged RM 0.50 for ten minutes and then RM 1.00 for 30 minutes’ of parking. There are enough parking spaces without having to book parking arrangements in advance.

The passenger terminal consists of two levels, with the ground level being used for arrivals and the upper level being used for departures. Sky bridged connect the two levels and passengers can walk to board their planes.
