Petition to End Excessive Drop-Off Charges at UK Airports
We call on the UK Government to abolish excessive drop-off charges at all UK airports. Passengers already pay Air Passenger Duty in their ticket price—charging extra to access terminals is unfair, exploitative and must be stopped.

Background
Parliament should require the Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority to regulate airport drop-off charges. This includes capping fees, mandating a minimum free drop-off period, and ensuring transparency. Airports must justify any charges and offer exemptions for disabled passengers and families. Legislation should prevent airports from using access fees as a hidden revenue source, ensuring fair treatment for all travelers already paying Air Passenger Duty.
