New transport at Manchester Airport

The PCS Airport Transfers Company has taken delivery of 30 Hyundai i800s to serve customers at Manchester Airport.

Most people carriers have five full-sized seats and usually the sixth and seventh are occasional chairs unfolded from the luggage space. The i800 has space for seven full size passengers, the driver, plus luggage room too – perfect for families or business users. Unlike most people carriers, which only have room for six people and the driver, the i800 can comfortably accommodate seven. In addition the big Hyundai will still have room for all luggage.

In fact, the i800 has 851 litres of space in the boot even when loaded with passengers; that’s twice as much as some estate cars!

The Hyundai i800 features a pair of individual seats in front and two benches behind, each accommodating three adults in comfort with uncompromised head and legroom.

Both rear benches feature a 60:40 split-fold and recline whilst the centre row also slides forwards or backwards to tailor legroom as required and aid access to the rear. If you don’t need to carry eight, or have small children in the rearmost row, then the centre seats can be slid back to create limo-like legroom.

The rear compartment is accessed by a pair of sliding doors, making entry and exit easy wherever the i800 is parked. The centre row of seats is able to slide forward to allow easy access to the rearmost section of the cabin.

John Murphy from the PCS commented: “We chose the Hyundai i800 as it offered everything we required. Our priority is our customers’ comfort and the ability to seat 7 adults and ourselves with plenty of room for luggage makes it the perfect choice beating many of its rivals. From a business perspective the competitive pricing and five-year warranty just cannot be beaten.”

Andrew Harrison, Manchester Airport Commercial Director, added: “We tasked PCS with sourcing suitable vehicles for the needs of our customers and they have done just that. We want customers to have the best possible experience through Manchester Airport and for many the beginning and end of their journey is the taxi journey, so getting this right is crucial. These vehicles deliver great flexibility and comfort for large parties using the airport.”
