Manchester Airport: Parking
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with Manchester Airport on the level of that airport's (a) drop-off and (b) pick-up charges.
Answered by Keir Mather
Most airports in the UK are managed and operated as private businesses, and the provision and charging of car parking at airports (including drop-off and pick-up charges) is a matter for the airport operator as a commercial business to manage and justify.
However, DfT expects car parking at airports, such as Manchester, to be managed appropriately and consumers treated fairly.
