Glasgow MP slams airport parking charges
22.07.10
A Glasgow MP has said airport parking charges at Scottish airports are as expensive as flights, the Evening Times reports. John Robertson, MP for Glasgow North West wants airport operator BAA to reduce charges. He tabled a question in the Commons criticising the car park charges he says can cost more than airfares thanks to £1 flights.
Mr Robertson said: ‘This is a blatant example of airport operators ripping-off the travelling public and should not be allowed to continue. Instead of having to save to buy airplane tickets to go on holiday your going to have to save up to buy airport parking tickets.’
He blames the charges on a lack of competition between airport operators. He might be interested to know that BAA will not allow other airport parking operators to sell spaces at their car parks for less than the rate they set, so there can be no competition.
