Airports: Fees and Charges

Asked by Alice MacdonaldLabour (Co-op)Department for TransportTabled Answered 17 June 2026UIN 9188

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had recent discussions with stakeholders on steps to regulate airport drop off charges.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Department regularly engages with airports and other stakeholders on a wide range of matters, such as surface access arrangements which includes parking and drop-off charges. Airports in the UK are managed and operated as private businesses. While the Government and the Civil Aviation Authority do not regulate drop-off charges, the Department expects parking at airports to be managed appropriately and consumers to be treated fairly.
