Gatwick Airport Increases Drop-Off Fee to £10

Gatwick Airport will raise its drop-off fee from £7 to £10 starting January 6, 2024, marking a 43% increase. This rise aims to encourage public transport use and mitigate congestion at the terminals, amid rising operational costs. Heathrow Airport recently announced a fee hike to £7, with a maximum stay limit of 10 minutes, leading to criticism from drivers. Despite these increases, some UK airports still offer free drop-off options, highlighting a trend towards higher charges at major airports.
