Rejected petition Introduce a free 10-minute airport drop-off period across UK airports

UK airports now charge drivers between £7 and £10 simply to drop off passengers for a few minutes. We ask the Government to introduce regulations requiring all UK airports to provide a minimum 10-minute free drop-off period for passengers and prevent excessive charges.

More details

Millions of people use UK airports each year, including families, taxi drivers and disabled passengers. Many people are struggling with the rising cost of living and these short stay drop-off fees feel unfair. Airports should not charge high fees just to allow passengers to be dropped off safely.
