Benefits of a Valet Service at airports
A valet service at your local airport will reduce pedestrian traffic and aide passengers who need the extra care and assistance. For example, the Ontario Airport saw a necessity to add an additional valet after seeing a 10% increase in volume. With this growth, they are expecting more passengers who see value in the benefits of the service.
“We work every day to establish new services and expand existing services that are popular with our airport customers,” Wapner said in a statement in April. “Demand for air travel at Ontario is jumping and, as a result, our customers expect services and amenities that increase the convenience factor of traveling through our airport.” -Alan Wapner, the President of the Ontario International Airport Authority.
The Ontario Airport has seen a rise in traffic over the summer. Additionally, they recently added a JetBlue contract with regular non-stop flights to New York. This is sure to add traffic as this was once the airline’s 6th most popular destination. Ontario, while nowhere near the busiest airport to use as an example, only validates that larger airports could see a greater need for a valet service.
The need for simplicity and convenience are crucial to travelers. With valet equipment available from The Valet Spot, you can offer a one-of-a-kind experience. Contact The Valet Spot at 877-959-6452 and work with us to design your airport business the way it should be.
