Drivers Face Massive Hike in Drop-Off Charges, 'Very Unwelcome' Fines at Most UK Airports

Motorists dropping off passengers at UK airports are facing the steepest charges ever recorded, with more than half of the country's busiest airports increasing their fees compared to last year, according to new data.

In total, 11 airports across the UK have raised their prices, with some implementing increases of up to 33 per cent.

The most expensive facilities now charge £7 for brief stops, whilst Manchester and London Luton have introduced particularly punitive rates of £1 per minute.

The widespread price rises mean that London City Airport stands alone amongst the top 20 UK airports in still permitting free drop-offs near the terminal.
