Aberdeen Airport Park and Depart

What Aberdeen Airport Park and Depart does

Aberdeen Airport Park and Depart is a single-site airport parking service operated by Aberdeen International Airport Limited (Company Number: SC096622), a government-related airport operator based at Aberdeen Airport (East), Wellheads Drive, Dyce, Aberdeen. The business sells three parking products — Long Stay, Short Stay (minimum two days), and Offshore Worker parking — priced at £4.99/day standard and £4.00/day for offshore workers on 10+ day stays, with no booking or card fees. Operations are built on an automated barrierless entry/exit system using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), CCTV, and an on-demand shuttle bus service running from 04:00 to the last arriving flight, completed by a self-serve online booking and 'Manage My Booking' portal.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for the parking sector: a commercial booking platform (book.aberdeenairportparkanddepart.co.uk) feeding the ANPR-controlled gate system, with a 5–10 minute transfer run by an in-house shuttle fleet. The service is consumed directly by individual travelers (leisure, business, and offshore energy workers) with no third-party resellers or distribution partners. The business is purely a direct-to-consumer online retailer of parking capacity, differentiated from on-site alternatives by price and proximity to the terminal.

Revenue is generated entirely from per-day parking fees billed at the time of online booking. The operation runs on a single car park with a defined seasonal operating window — the site closed for winter from 31 October 2023 — and is reliant on the wider passenger and offshore helicopter traffic of Aberdeen Airport. No funding events, M&A, partnerships, or leadership changes are recorded in the source data.

Broad incumbents

• Holiday Extras: UK market-leading aggregator of airport parking, hotels, and lounge products. While primarily a marketplace, it sells capacity from off-airport parking operators like Park and Depart, and competes for the same end-customer parking bookings.
• APCOA Parking: Largest European parking operator; actually operates Park and Depart's customer service desk ([email protected]). Comparable as an off-airport parking operator running multi-site car parks with shuttle services and digital booking across the UK and Europe.
• NCP (National Car Parks): Major UK off-street and airport parking operator offering pre-booked parking with shuttle transfers at multiple UK airports. Directly comparable business model of branded off-airport parking with online booking.

Direct peers

• Purple Parking: UK off-airport meet & greet and shuttle parking operator at major UK airports. Closely comparable product set (off-airport parking, shuttle transfer, online booking) and target customer (airport travelers seeking cheaper alternatives to on-airport parking).
• Looking4Parking: UK airport parking comparison and booking site aggregating off-airport operators. Competes for the same pre-booked parking customer with a similar shuttle-based product proposition.
• SkyParkSecure: UK airport parking comparison and booking platform reselling off-airport parking at multiple UK airports. Competes for the same end customer with a similar shuttle-based off-airport product.

Regional players

• Glasgow Airport Parking: On- and off-airport parking service run by Glasgow Airport, sister Scottish regional airport. Comparable as airport-operated parking product with shuttle transfers serving leisure and business travelers in Scotland.
• Edinburgh Airport Parking: Direct on- and off-airport parking service operated by Edinburgh Airport. Same business model (airport-branded parking with shuttle) at a competing Scottish airport, sharing the same regional leisure and business customer base.
• Manchester Airport Parking: Airport-operated parking products (long stay, short stay, meet & greet) at Manchester Airport. Comparable as airport-branded multi-tier parking service with on-demand shuttles serving a major UK regional airport.

Others

• APCOA Connect / Flow: APCOA's digital parking platform and ANPR-based access technology. Comparable as the underlying technology stack that Park and Depart already uses for barrier-free entry/exit at airport car parks.
