Robbins Parking loses Victoria airport contract to U.S. company after 41 years

After 41 years of managing parking services at Victoria International Airport, Robbins Parking will conclude its agreement with the airport operator on May 31, 2025, as the new contract is awarded to Laz Parking starting June 1.
The Victoria Airport Authority initiated a public Request for Proposal in February 2025 to select a vendor for operational review and parking services, marking the first RFP for parking management.
Nine submissions were received in response to the RFP, among them a bid from U.S.-based Laz Parking, which manages services in Edmonton and Calgary, while Robbins Parking was unable to obtain a renewed contract.
Lindsay Gaunt, VAA VP, said the authority sought leadership, innovation, and industry experience, adding that Laz Parking's airport parking expertise ‘‘gave what we were looking for’’ despite being U.S.-owned.
The contract spans five years with a possible two-year renewal, and VAA expects the partnership to deliver innovative solutions while Robbins Parking vows a smooth transition amid bittersweet feelings.
