Drivers face escalating costs at UK airports, with more than half having either raised or introduced new drop-off fees in the past year, according to new research.
This contrasts sharply with most of Europe’s busiest airports, where such charges remain largely absent.
A study by the RAC revealed that 11 of the 20 UK airports it analysed have increased their so-called "kiss and fly" charges – levied for dropping off passengers as close to the terminal as possible – since last summer.
