Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to introduce a limit to the amount that airports can charge for the use of drop-off facilities.
Most airports in the UK are managed and operated as private businesses, and parking arrangements are subject to contractual agreements between airport operators and car parking companies covered by consumer laws.
The provision and charging of car parking at airports (including drop off and pick charges) is a matter for the airport operator as a commercial business to manage and justify. However, the Department for Transport expects car parking at airports to be managed appropriately and consumers treated fairly
