Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of airport drop-off charges on passengers, particularly older people and disabled people; what information her Department holds on the accessibility of payment arrangements for those charges; and whether she has any plans to regulate airport drop-off charges or introduce measures to improve accessibility for passengers who are unable or find it difficult to use online payment systems.

The Government has committed to undertake a review into the impact of airport drop off charges on users, within 12 months of Royal Assent of the Civil Aviation Bill. Whilst the detailed scope of the review will be developed in due course, it could include consideration of issues such as affordability, accessibility, travel behaviour and the experiences of different groups of passengers.
