East Midlands Airport one of top 10 most expensive to drop off passengers

East Midlands Airport is in the top 10 most expensive for dropping off holidaymakers in the UK. The airport has however defended its policy of charging people who drop off passengers at the terminal.

The airport, just off the M1 motorway, was named among the top 10 most expensive airports to drop off holidaymakers in the UK. This is according to research from the motoring group RAC that says 16 out of the 22 airports it looked into have introduced or raised the charges in the past three years.

Stanstead Airport came out as the most expensive, charging so-called "kiss and fly" passengers £7 for 15 minutes, an increase from £4 for 10 minutes in 2019. East Midlands Airport is currently one of eight airports that charge £5 for 15 minutes according to Derbyshire Live.
