Gatwick Airport drop-off charge rises to £10

Gatwick Airport increases drop-off charge to £10, a £3 rise effective January 6, citing escalating costs including doubled business rates. RAC expresses concern over the substantial 40% hike, calling it the largest observed increase. The airport emphasizes the move aims to promote sustainable transport initiatives and reduce congestion, while Blue Badge holders remain exempt from the fee. Heathrow's drop-off charge is also set to increase, while London City Airport prepares to introduce a drop-off fee.
