Another one for Rip Off Britain! Glasgow airport has increased the cost to use its drop-off and pick-up charges to £6.
The minimum charge for holidaymakers being dropped off at the special zone close to the departures area has risen 50p from £5.50.
The pick-up/drop off zone allows cars to stay a maximum of 15 minutes, after which they will be charged an extra £1 per minute.
A spokesman for Glasgow Airport said the increase was part of a review of its parking facilities.
He said: “It is important to note there are no changes to our free drop-off facility where customers can park for up to one hour.
“This is located in our long-stay car park, and passengers can use a free, on-demand 24-hour shuttle service to and from the terminal.
“The pick-up and drop-off area is intended for short visits of up to 15 minutes only.
“We would encourage anyone who thinks they may be longer to use the free alternative or our short-stay car park.”
The cost of using the airport’s short stay car park increased from £7 to £8 for 20 minutes.
It costs £15 for one hour and £24 for up to two hours.
Ah well that’s what happens when you sell off your airports and seaports and they become owned by foreign off shore corporates
Thatcher started it. Shipyards, steelworks, coalmining, power plants, the national grid, the gas grid, airline, Sealink and much much more.
The country has been hollowed out and my goodness doesn’t it now show.
