Leeds airport parking

In the week that has seen Alistair Darling reduce VAT by 2.5%, Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBIA) has made its own credit crunching reductions of up to 20%* when you pre-book on-site, long-stay car parking online.

The airport has just re-launched its online pre-book Leeds airport parking system, and to celebrate its introduction, LBIA is not only offering its customers more products to choose from but it has also reduced its online pre-book, long-stay prices by up to 20%*.

LBIA’s Commercial & Aviation Director, Tony Hallwood said of the new system: “In the current economic climate and as the consumer’s champion, we are giving something back to our customers by making these significant reductions to our pre-book, online car parking charges.

We now offer two great long stay products for passengers booking online who want the peace of mind and convenience of parking onsite at Leeds Bradford International Airport. A fully flexible package which allows you to make amendments to your booking, or a non flexible package that saves you even more.”

Eton Air update

Eton Air, the Heathrow corporate airport parking supplier, has ceased trading.

The corporate airport parking business of Eton Air Ltd was closed after around 13 years of successful trading. The company director regrettably could not continue to trade and was left with little option other than to cease trading due to difficult trading conditions. Leading industry competitor, www.help-me-park.co.uk, has stepped into the void as a front runner in taking up the customers of the Eton Air Car Relay business.

Help-me-park commented, "It is a real shame to see a business such as Eton Air be forced to cease trading. It is clear they were built on the same principals that have seen Help-me-park grow so rapidly in the same market – those of customer satisfaction and a dedication to doing the job right. We hope that Help-me-park can be a suitable replacement for the service previously supplied by Eton Air Ltd, and will do our best to help those customers wherever possible."
