Luton Airport drop off charge from July 1
19.06.09
Luton Airport will begin charging drivers £1 to drop-off passengers from July 1, despite widespread objections including from easyJet, the airline based at the airport. Drivers will have to stay with their vehicles while inside the drop-off zone and will have to leave it within ten minutes. They will pay at barriers at the exit of the zone.
The airport said that drivers who did not wish to use the drop-off zone could leave passengers at the mid-term car park from where a free shuttle bus leaves every ten minutes for the two-minute journey to get to the terminal. It hopes the charge will improve traffic flow and encourage more travellers to use public transport.
Abertis, the airport operator, also runs Cardiff and Belfast airports, prompting concerns that similar fees could spread to other airports across the UK. Birmingham Airport already charges drivers £1 for 15 minutes at its drop-off area near the terminal.
