Dinez Carnay β the founder behind Airport Taxi Farnborough
From a single car in 2009 to an award-winning executive airport transfer service, built on one belief: it’s all about customer service.
It started with one car and a higher standard
Airport Taxi Farnborough is the executive arm of Dinez Taxis and Airport Transfers, founded by Dinez ‘Dino’ Carnay. Dino’s working life began in aviation β he worked for Emirates Airline in Dubai and Kuwait Airways in the early 1990s β before he moved to the United Kingdom in January 2001 and drove for the Royal Mail.
In 2009 he left the Royal Mail and used his savings to start the business with a single car β a Renault Grand Espace β serving Heathrow and Gatwick. He built it on a simple conviction: “I knew I could excel in this customer service,” and that belief still runs through every journey today.
Over sixteen years the business has grown into a 100% Mercedes fleet β E-Class, S-Class and V-Class β with DBS-checked chauffeurs, while keeping the same owner-led standard of care it started with. Founder background reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
