Consumer magazine Which? recently published a survey in which the parking at Belfast City Airport received the lowest rating for parking of any UK airport.

George Best Belfast City Airport, the recipient of a silver medal last year in the final of the UK Airport of the Year category at the British Travel Awards, was the only UK location to receive just one star out of five for its airport parking facilities. Which? indicated that 139 people responded to the survey with regard to Belfast City Airport, and between 20 and 30 people submitted ratings for the car parking. Other categories in the survey included Check-in, Airport Experience, Time and Distance, Food Outlets, Airside Amenities and Return Waiting Times. The airport received an overall score of 55%.

In response to the survey, George Best Belfast City Airport stated it was “constantly striving to exceed the expectations” of their customers, and that they were undertaking a £3.5 million terminal reconfiguration, to include 60% more retail space. The airport spokesperson went on to say, “Our ongoing car park reconfiguration will allow more efficient and comfortable access to our terminal.”

Blackpool Airport came out on top in the survey with an overall score of 80%, with Heathrow’s Terminal 1 finishing last on 31%.
