ParkCloud renews car parking contract with the Baltic states’ largest airport

LATVIA. ParkCloud, the online parking reservation specialist, has renewed its contract with Latvia Riga International Airport.

The Manchester-headquartered business, which currently works with car park operators in 42 countries, said the renewal followed consistent booking growth over the three-year period of its previous contract. It will continue to market on-site parking at the Baltic states’ largest airport through “numerous consumer-facing channels”.

Travellers booking long-stay parking alongside their flights will be able to reserve their spaces online at Riga International’s P3 car park, which is a few minutes’ walk from the airport’s terminal building.

The P3 car park is open 24/7, is described as well-lit and is secured by a perimeter fence and barrier entry. Members of the RIX Club privilege programme [RIX is Riga International’s airport code] will also have access to premium car park spaces.

Riga International hit the milestone of seven million passengers for the first time in 2018, and offers direct flights to 100 destinations in 30 countries.

ParkCloud Managing Director Mark Pegler said: “Having worked in collaboration with Riga Airport since 2016, we have been able to adapt and strengthen our marketing approach to effectively capture the rising number of online shoppers – who are increasingly demanding a more comprehensive one-stop travel solution.

“As well as being a popular tourist destination in its own right, Riga hosts an international gateway to those travelling throughout Europe and beyond, creating the potential to exploit future growth opportunities. It’s an exciting challenge for the next phase of our collaboration.”
