Airports: Fees and Charges

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 30 January 2026UIN 107163

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the kerbside airport drop-off charges were at each of the major UK airports in (a) July 2024 and (b) today; and whether her Department has issued guidance on airport drop-off charges.

Answered by Keir Mather

The provision and charging of car parking at airports, including drop-off charges, is a matter for the airport operator as a commercial business to manage and justify. Government expects fees to be set in a way that is both fair and transparent for consumers.
