Sydney, Australia – 11th April, 2022 – Sydney Airport is central to Australia’s aviation and tourism industry. Sydney Airport is Australia’s largest and busiest, moving more domestic and international passengers than any other airport in Australia. It is vital for connecting Australians and facilitating international and domestic flights. Alpha Car Hire are delighted to announce that their new branch is opening at Sydney Airport in April 2022.
Alpha Car Hire is proud to be one of Australia’s largest independent car hire providers, offering a wide range of high-quality vehicles with great everyday low rates. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges for Alpha Car Hire, as it has for all businesses, especially those in the tourism sector. However, Alpha Car Hire has used the enforced downtime of the pandemic to restructure their company and improve their fleet. Over two-thirds of their vehicles have been replaced, and the entire fleet at their new location in Sydney Airport is entirely new.
“We took the opportunity offered by the pandemic to revamp everything”, explains Magdalena Kusyk, Chief Marketing Officer of Alpha Car Hire. “We wanted to be in a position to offer tourists the biggest range of clean, reliable vehicles possible. We want to give our customers the best drive possible, whether they are locals, on holiday, visiting family or working.” Technology moves fast, and there have been many improvements in how comfortable and safe cars now are. By acquiring new, more modern vehicles, Alpha Car Hire can pass on the benefits of these advancements to their customers.
Sydney Airport is one of the world’s longest continuously operated commercial. As the busiest airport in Australia, pre-pandemic Sydney Airport was handling 42.6 million passengers and 348,904 aircraft movements. Forty-six domestic and forty-three international destinations were served by Sydney Airport directly.
The airport is regularly rated in the top five airports worldwide for airports handling 40–50 million passengers annually. It was voted the 20th best airport in the world at the Skytrax World Airport Awards pre-pandemic, and in 2021 it received the AAA National Airport Industry Awards award for Capital City Airport of the Year. In 2019, an estimated 41% of Australia’s 9.5 million international visitors arrived via Sydney.
As restrictions are lifted, the Australian tourism industry is gradually moving back to normality, but it will take a while. “We are seeing a two-speed recovery emerging between domestic and international passengers, with domestic passengers nearly back to 50% of pre-COVID levels and growing strongly, but international passengers still below 20%,” reports Sydney Airport CEO Geoff Culbert. “Internationally, airlines are putting on more capacity, and by the end of this March, we will have 12 of the 21 international airlines who stopped flying to Sydney during the pandemic back flying regular services. The airlines who aren’t yet back are still maintaining staff and offices here, which gives us confidence they intend to return.”
Alpha Car Hire are eager to be part of the tourism industry recovery process in Sydney. “For us, there was no question that we wanted to have a branch at Sydney Airport,” says Magdalena Kusyk. “It is the hub of tourism for Australia. We are confident that our affordable prices and high-quality vehicles will offer a welcome choice in the high demand and competitive Sydney car hire market.”
The Sydney Airport car hire branch will be led by an experienced team who pride themselves on their high standard of customer service. Alpha Car Hire place a high emphasis on training their staff to be friendly and to put their customers at ease with clear, simple explanations and a personal touch. Flight details are taken at the time of booking so passengers can be met on landing by Alpha Car Hire’s free shuttle, with a phone number also provided. Alpha Car Hire are committed to helping to get their customer’s travels off to the best possible start. Whether you are looking for suggestions on the best places to eat in Darling Harbour, directions to the best beach or advice on using the toll roads, Alpha Car Hire’s informed staff will be happy to share their local knowledge.
Alpha Car Hire are applying all recommendations set by the Australian Government Department of Health. This includes frequent hand washing practices and the sanitisation of high contact areas, such as door handles and countertops. Stricter cleaning guidelines for all vehicle inspections have included a more detailed cleaning. A strong emphasis is on commonly touched areas such as the steering wheel, door handles, controls and other repeatedly direct contacts.
As things return to normal and tourists once again flock to enjoy Australia, Alpha Car Hire are looking forward to welcoming them to their new Sydney Airport branch.
