You can now pay for parking using your Salik account
Salik is offering ticketless parking to residents of Deira Enrichment Project… In the latest from a slew of road network and parking updates in the city, Salik has now introduced ticketless parking for residents and visitors of the Deira Enrichment Project. A new ticketless system implemented through Salik's partner firm Parkonic will allow some residents to enter and exit parking zones using their vehicle licence plates as digital tickets. No need for physical tickets or payment apps. Residents can have a yearly membership through Parkonic's app, costing Dhs5,000. Surprisingly, visitors can also have an annual membership, albeit a little pricier, for Dhs7,500, both of these prices excluding a five per cent value-added tax. Including VAT, an hourly parking costs Dh5 and Dh25 for overnight, including VAT across eleven districts. Parkonic, like Parkin, is one of the largest private parking operators in the UAE. Salik has collaborated with them to enhance parking and payment systems across the UAE by eliminating the need for apps and tickets and using Salik's e-wallet system. According to a report by Khaleej Times, the partnership is based on a five-year contract, during which the collaboration will result in the integration of Salik's e-Wallet into 107-plus locations under it's operation and any future locations it may operate in the UAE. Earlier this year, Salik introduced variable toll pricing. The new dynamic pricing applies for all days of the year, except Ramadan, which will have separate rates, and was implemented starting January 31, allowing motorists to travel toll free in certain passages of time in the day. Adjustments have been made according to peak and non-peak weekdays, the toll sits at Dhs6 during morning peak hours (6am to 10am) and evening peak hours (4pm to 8pm). During off-peak hours, between 10am and 4pm, and from 8pm to 1am, the toll is Dhs4. On Sundays, excluding public holidays, special occasions, or major events, the toll is Dhs4 throughout the day and free from 1am to 6am. @ Images: Getty > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

UAE travel: Families can save Dh250 per flight ticket this summer; here's how
With daily flights to India, Thailand, Bangladesh and other popular destinations, Fujairah airport is expecting to see a surge in passenger numbers this summer. Less crowds, attractive offers and lower airfares have contributed to the popularity. 'We anticipate a surge in passenger traffic this summer from June due to convenience of accessing our airport,' said Esmaeil M Al Baloushi, General Manager of Fujairah International Airport (FIA). Dubai-based travel agency Smart Travel recently signed an agreement with FIA and will open an office there next month to facilitate smooth experience for their customers. 'This summer, passengers flying to India can save an average of Dh250 per person on flight tickets if they opt to travel out of Fujairah airport as opposed to a more busy airport like Dubai,' said Safeer Mohammed, General Manager of Smart Travel. 'For larger families, this could translate into massive savings for their annual vacation.' Soaring ticket prices for flights from UAE to India during summer vacation has long been an issue for Indian expats. Ticket prices to certain cities sometimes double during peak travel season. He added that there are several attractive offers from Fujairah for this summer. 'There are flights to Phuket from Dh600 with a layover in Mumbai for just two hours,' he said. 'Such offers are becoming extremely popular among UAE residents.' Perks In addition to this, the airport is giving several perks including discounts and free shuttles to attract more flyers. 'We have several offers for our flyers,' said Esmaeil. 'There will be free shuttle services from Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, and Umm Al Quwain to Fujairah Airport so that travellers can get to the airport smoothly. We are also offering a 20 percent discount on all duty-free purchases for our passengers.' In addition to this, there are some luggage allowances as well. Recently, Indian airlines IndiGo began operating daily flights from Fujairah to the Indian cities of Mumbai and Kannur. On the IndiGo flights, passengers and offered an allowance to take 5kg additional baggage to make travel more convenient. According to Esmaeil, there are plans to expand the offerings of the airport. 'Our airport offers flights to Mumbai and Kannur by IndiGo, and we are planning to expand flights to other Indian destinations by IndiGo, and adding more flights to other destinations,' he said. 'Our discussions with other airlines are progressing.' He added that Fujairah airport is planning to 'continuously improve' their facilities and services to better serve our passengers by 'offering multiple flights to various destinations and attract more people to Fujairah as a hub'.
