Online parking group clinches Edinburgh Airport contract
Manchester-based online parking reservation business ParkCloud has agreed a significant contract with Scotland’s busiest, and the UK’s sixth busiest, airport, Edinburgh.
The agreement will enable ParkCloud – which is based on Oxford Street in the city centre – to offer its 3 million+ users the option of reserving their parking across all of Edinburgh Airport’s car park products.
With a range of options to suit all travel needs, drivers parking up at the airport will be able to choose from long stay, long stay express*, mid stay, terminal surface, valet parking, multi-storey with fastTRACK, along with the airport’s official off-site car park – Plane Parking.
ParkCloud will also be able to offer its customers flexible and non-flexible parking options across long stay, long stay express* and terminal surface parking products.
Edinburgh Airport is Scotland’s busiest airport with 13.4 million people passing through the terminal in 2017 – a record for any Scottish airport.
It has seen significant growth over the past 12 months, with the launch of 22 new routes – 21 of which are to international destinations – alongside the recent news that it has overtaken Heathrow Airport for the number of domestic airline passengers.
Speaking about the partnership, Alec Hodgson, head of digital and parking at Edinburgh Airport, said: “We have created a set of car parking products that lend themselves perfectly to the differing needs of our diverse passenger traffic.
“As passenger numbers continue to rise and demand for pre-planned itineraries grows, it’s vital that we support our existing services and work with partners, such as ParkCloud, to assist us in promoting our products to current and potential online customers.”
