Customers of Carlisle Lake District Airport (CLDA) will be able to park for free this year when they fly to London Southend Airport, Dublin Airport or Belfast City Airport from the 4 June, Stobart Group announced today.
The carpark, which will include four disabled spots and 66 other spaces, is currently being built by Stobart Rail and Civils alongside the airport’s new terminal.
Routes have already gone on sale, with the airport, in partnership with Loganair, planning to launch commercial and business passenger flights for the first time since 1993.
The move comes after Stobart Group was awarded £4.95m by the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership to develop the airport.
Kate Willard, head of corporate projects at Stobart Group, said: “We are delighted to announce that Carlisle Lake District Airport customers will be able to benefit from free parking from 4 June. What a better way to demonstrate that Cumbria and the Lake District is open for business?
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the messages of support that we have received over social media and everyone I have met in the region over the last few months is so excited about this project. I would especially like to thank our partners, Loganair, who are just brilliant. Tickets are going fast, so make sure to book online.”
