Fees for dropping off passengers have increased in the past year at more than a third of major UK airports, new research has revealed. Southampton, Leeds Bradford and Liverpool John Lennon are among the airports where drop-off costs have gone up.
However fees to drop off passengers at Manchester Airport have remained the same since they were last increased in 2020. For forecourt drop off at Manchester it currently costs £5 for five minutes and £6 for 10 minutes.
The RAC has analysed data at 21 airports to see if charges for dropping off passengers have been raised or introduced since August 2022. The biggest increase in existing so-called kiss and fly charges – which are typically levied for dropping off someone as close to a terminal as possible – are at Southampton and Belfast International airports.
