Airparks was founded in October 1991. Airparks first acquired a secured car park near Birmingham Airport, and renamed it Airparks. In December 2007 plans were made to re-brand Q-Park sites to Airparks at Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow.[1] In 2006 Airparks opened its first German car park in Frankfurt [2] under the brand ABC Holiday Plus. There are now seven Airparks sites in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Munich, Stuttgart, Bremen, Frankfurt-Hahn and Hanover.
The car parks owned by Airparks have been awarded with the Park Mark award for safer parking, a national security award.[3]
Other security features (reference: Gatwick Airparks) include:
* Entry barrier to the car park * Car park areas are monitored by closed circuit security cameras * Security fencing * Security lighting * Car park is regularly patrolled by staff. * Holders of Park Mark Award
Airparks provide a range of products including on-airport and off-airport parking and run a number of airport parking services.[4] These services include Meet and Greet [5], Airparks Express (a one way Meet and Greet) and Park and Ride. There are disabled facilities at many of the Airparks sites. Airparks also work with other leading operators to provide airport parking at 25 UK sites [4], airport hotels, airport lounges and travel insurance.
