ARROW Cars has been handed a five-year contract to provide taxis for passengers to and from Bristol Airport.

It means the firm will now run a fleet of cars from the Lulsgate site 24 hours a day.

Arrow Cars’ chairman, David Richmond, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the contract to operate the private hire concession at Bristol Airport.

“It now gives us a national presence to complement our existing operations at Leeds Bradford, Manchester and East Midlands Airport.

“Our existing operations have gone from strength to strength with sustained growth.

“Our focus is always on our customers. Giving them a high quality customer experience from the initial booking process through to the journey itself is paramount.”

Arrows was awarded the contract following a tendering process run by Bristol Airport.

Checkers Cars previously ran the service.
