Car sharing system to help ease airport parking at Luton
Tue, 09 Jun, 2009
A lift sharing system has been started by Luton Airport to help ease pressure on airport parking.
While a car sharing scheme was already in place for employees, it can now be used by passengers as well, with the new expansion timed to coincide with National Liftshare Day.
They can go online to register and find other people making the same trip in order to travel together, TTG Live reported.
Luton Airport said it is dedicated to sustainable transport and claims to be the UK's first to implement such a scheme.
Recently, Business Destinations magazine readers voted Luton Airport as the UK Business Airport of the Year.
Services available to business passengers include Priority Parking, a relatively new programme.
A meet and greet service, it allows travellers to leave their cars outside the terminal, where trained staff will park it within the short-term car park.
The car is then brought back to be collected outside the terminal when the passenger returns.
