ParkVia seals contract to promote car parking and ancillary services at Wroclaw Airport, Poland

POLAND. ParkVia has announced a new partnership with Wroclaw-Copernicus Airport operator Port Lotniczy Wrocław that will promote the airport’s parking, fast-track and lounge products.

The deal will allow passengers flying from Poland’s fifth busiest airport to book ancillary services online at parkvia.com and across hundreds of partner sites including travel agents and major airlines such as Wizz Air.

The new agreement between ParkVia and Wroclaw-Copernicus Airport will help maximise passenger spend on car parking and other ancillary services in the tough COVID-19 trading period

Ilaria Vacca: “The new collaboration will enhance the airport experience for many passengers”

The agreement covers about 4,000 parking spaces over four pre-booking car parks. Also promoted via the deal are the airport’s WRO Executive Lounge and the airport’s fast-track service.

Wroclaw-Copernicus Airport Sales and Marketing Director Jarosław Sztucki said: “We aim to deliver a seamless airport experience for our passengers and that starts before they book their flight. Bringing this new digital route-to-market online allows our passengers to book and pay for services on the platform and device of their choice.”

He added: “This year it is more important than ever to maximise passenger monetisation and we believe that ParkVia’s exciting ecommerce platform will help to this end.”

ParkVia Head of Strategic Accounts Ilaria Vacca said: “The airport has an enviable record of growth and the new collaboration will enhance the airport experience for many passengers, presenting them with additional options to pre-plan more elements of their journeys.”

ParkVia – whose footprint spans airports in 44 countries – now promotes the spaces of over 2,000 parking providers to its four million registered users.

PARKVIA BOLSTERS EASTERN EUROPEAN PRESENCE WITH ALBANIAN EXPANSION

European airport parking leader, ParkVia, has continued its impressive international growth rate with the activation of its 44th market – Albania.

The announcement will enable the reservation provider to offer its 4 million registered users the option of pre-booking their parking online at the Western Balkan region’s second largest airport – further strengthening its airport parking portfolio.

The addition of Tirana, Albania’s only international airport, kickstarts the brand’s campaign for growth following a hiatus for COVID-19.

Ben Fox, Head of Marketing at ParkVia, said:

“Reinforcing our already strong European product offering is a key focus for us right now, so we’re delighted to have added Tirana to our stable of locations.”

“Our travel partners are looking to maximise profits in 2021 and take advantage of market consolidation, so it is important that we have the right inventory available for them at the right locations.”

“Tirana has consistently been one of the fastest growing major airports in the Balkans and with the adoption of ecommerce and online booking exploding in 2020, ParkVia is well placed to support both our partners and car parks in taking advantage of this.”

In addition to its popular comparison site, ParkVia’s new operators will also benefit from additional exposure through its collective global airline partnerships, which include Wizz Air and British Airways.

Alongside the dynamic pre and post-booking touchpoints, customers are also able to compare individual car park features, prices and consumer reviews via the platform’s intuitive search engine capabilities.   

As the leading carrier in the Baltics, the airline is perfectly situated from its primary and secondary hubs in Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius to provide a gateway of short-haul flights across 36 countries.

BOOKING BEYOND THE WEB – PARKVIA ANNOUNCES 2020 VOICE BOOKING PLANS

January 06, 2020

BOOKING BEYOND THE WEB – PARKVIA ANNOUNCES 2020 VOICE BOOKING PLANS

On the back of its strongest peak period ever, Europe’s favourite airport parking retailer, ParkVia, has announced ambitious plans to evolve its successful e-commerce platform for 2020.

As consumers become more sophisticated with the online shopping experience and demand more from the buying process, creating an additional booking stream was the next logical step in ParkVia’s growth strategy.

Adopting the competitive advantage within airport parking, ParkVia has committed to employing voice booking technology for its users in 2020, enabling it to move further towards presenting the most preferable parking option, first time for each and every customer.

A recent study* found 4 in 10 smart speaker users will regularly make purchases via voice by 2021, as search moves firmly from a place of answers to a state of action.

ParkVia’s Head of Marketing, Ben Fox, said: “Over the past 12 months we have implemented learnings from what consumers across our varying markets expect from us next and have been busy behind the scenes working to bring that to the fore throughout the booking journey. The next logical step for us as a brand is booking beyond the web.

“Until now, voice in the retail domain has been inhibited by an ability to explore; however, advancements in technology and demand from consumers are spurring development in voice adoption and we’re extremely excited about pioneering within the airport parking arena.”

Working collaboratively with its in-house development and analytical teams, ParkVia’s extensive customer dataset has supported the next phase of its digital transformation by integrating NLP (natural language processing) with VUI (voice user interface) to create a new, workable booking solution.

Still in the development stage, customers eager to trial this innovative technology will be able to book their parking across multiple locations worldwide via their Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant later in 2020.

PARKVIA DRIVES IN-PATH WITH WIZZ AIR TO SCOOP MILESTONE DEAL

Leading European airport parking retailer, ParkVia, has secured a significant new contract with its longest-standing airline partner, Wizz Air, one of Europe’s fastest growing airlines and the largest low-cost carrier in Central and Eastern Europe, following the successful launch of its latest project.

In a move that allows the parking reservation provider to align itself as one of the airline’s strategic partners, ParkVia is now integrated with the Hungarian low-cost carrier to provide in-path booking flow technology.

Allowing for a more succinct customer experience, Wizz Air passengers are now able to reserve parking at their chosen airport at the same time they book their flights and travel extras, which negates the need for numerous reservations for a single trip.

The new four-year contract builds upon the previous contract term, which commenced in 2012 with a dedicated white label parking site wizzparking.com, which is still operational for customers who prefer to book their parking at a later date.

Marta Gomez, Revenue Development Manager at Wizz Air, said:

“As we drive forward with the expansion of our route network and fleet, we draw upon the experience of our partners to unlock more opportunities for growth that also add value to the overall proposition we offer Wizz Air customers.

“Over the course of our long-term partnership with ParkVia, we have worked collaboratively to diversify passengers’ parking needs to ensure we’re always evolving our approach to their booking requirements; which is why we are confident to renew the contract for what we anticipate being another successful term.”

ParkVia’s Head of Global Partners, Nicola Pilling, commented:

“Over the last decade, parking has fast become a key revenue source for airlines, bolstering overall travel packages and allowing customers to personalise more elements of their journey. We are delighted that our strategic partnership with Wizz Air has progressed to integrate this approach and we will continue to build upon this strong foundation as we explore new avenues for success.”
