An unofficial airport parking firm has been told to pay more than £3,500 following a trading standards operation to curb rogue airport meet and greet companies leaving vehicles on residential streets.
Nabeel Khoury, 45, of Greenwood Road, Manchester claimed that cars would be parked securely when in fact they were being parked on residential streets in Woodhouse Park, Wythenshawe – nearby to Manchester Airport – which is an offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations.
In 2016, Manchester City Council’s Trading Standards team fitted a tracking device to a vehicle and booked a three-day airport parking service through Mr Khoury’s PPS Manchester website. The tracker showed the car had been parked on Greenwood Road in Woodhouse Park and not in a secure car park as advertised.
Councillor Rabnawaz Akbar, Manchester City Council’s Executive Member for Neighbourhoods, said: “Cowboy meet and greet firms are making life a misery for residents in Wythenshawe and I’m pleased that the Courts have found it appropriate to impose a significant fine on this so-called company.
“I hope this sends a clear message to other illegal operators that deceiving customers will not be tolerated. We are doing everything we can to find you, investigate you and where possible, we will prosecute.”
