Unfortunately and probably inevitably, Heathrow Airport are the latest airport to introduce a DROP off charge at all terminals. 

 

This new charge will start this October and will be the princely sum of £5.00. This is the same as Gatwick, Luton and East Midlands Airport. 

 

Can you believe Stansted are even more expensive ??? 

 

With aviation been hit so hard by covid, the knock on effects for the airports has been immense. Footfall down by as much as 95% some months. Although air travel is starting to make a gradual and slow return, there is still a VERY long way to get back to pre covid levels. 

 

The airports are hoping this charge will help rescue some of their losses.
