Drop off fee could rise
11.07.10
The £1 passenger drop-off charge set to be introduced at Edinburgh Airport in October could be increased if it fails to cut ‘kiss and fly’ trips, the Scotsman reports. Airport boss Gordon Dewar told the newspaper Government officials had advised that a £1 fee might not be high enough to change behaviour.
The airport hopes the charge from October will reduce the number of cars using the drop-off zone beside the terminal by more than one third, from 1.6 million to about 1 million, with a switch to public transport expected. However, Mr Dewar told the newspaper: ‘If it had no impact on the number of people who 'kiss and fly', the airport might want to review it. Scottish Government officials have suggested we may need to charge more to change behaviour.’
