Booster cables are now available at the airport security desk for passengers who've returned to vehicles that are hard to start. They can be borrowed with the user leaving a driver's license or credit card as a deposit.

Booster cables are now available at the airport security desk for passengers who've returned to vehicles that are hard to start.

They can be borrowed with the user leaving a driver's license or credit card as a deposit.

The cables are onsite as a result of the requests of many customers, airport spokeswoman Lindsay Cotter said.

The airport cannot use its fleet to boost passenger vehicles because "several of them have very expensive computer and electronics onboard and a bad boost connection or electrical fault in the passenger's vehicle can destroy the equipment," Cotter said.

"Also, Cotter said, the airport does not tow vehicles out of the ditch or snow bank, but we will be happy to arrange for a tow on their behalf."
