Airports: Fees and Charges
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of airports charging cars to drop off travelling passengers on blue badge holders.
- Answer
-
The Secretary of State for Transport has made no assessment of the potential impact of airports charging cars to drop of travelling passengers on blue badge holders.
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.
