Grampian Police have handed their top parking safety honour to Aberdeen Airport's new car park, meaning the Dyce terminal has completed the treble.
Representatives from the Force were on site earlier this week to hand over the official 'Safer Parking Award' for the newly opened short stay parking deck and the Priority Parking area.
That is on top of an existing award for the long stay car park, ensuring complete peace of mind for all passengers.
Gillian Stuart is the Contract Manager for APCOA (the car park operators) in Aberdeen. She said "We are delighted to have been awarded the Safe Parking Award for the Short Stay and Priority Parking car parks which are in addition to the award we currently hold for our Long Stay car park.
"The team are very proud of this achievement as we work extremely hard to ensure the car park is safe, secure and clean as we realise how important these are to our customers. The award is only achieved following stringent assessments, by Grampian police and the BPA, of the management processes, physical measures and site security systems to maintain a safe and secure environment.
Superintendent John Duncan from Grampian Police, who handed over the award, said "We applaud any initiative which helps to deter criminality and anti-social behaviour.
"We are delighted to recognise the good work APCOA have done to improve their facilities at the airport and enhance safety for members of the public."
Jemma Forrest, BAA Retail Executive, worked on the parking deck construction project and was delighted with the award. She said "This was one of our most high-profile projects of 2009 and to have our work recognised in this way is great. It is testament to the great working relationship we have with APCOA that has helped us deliver such a trusted product. I am sure our passengers will be pleased to hear how safe their car is at Aberdeen Airport."
The car park was opened in September 2009 at a cost of almost £5 million, providing 500 new short stay spaces. Not long after, in October, the Priority area was opened to the public, complete with wider bays, the closest spaces to the terminal, and all fully undercover. The Priority service is already proving popular with the business community, among others, who are seeking the most convenient time-saving route through the airport. Passengers choosing to go for Priority Parking, now also get access to Priority Security as part of their deal.
