Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer to of 16 October 2026 to Question 34459, if the review into aiport drop-off charges will include i.) the impact on business rate increases on airports ii.) the increase in national insurance tax costs and the decrease in the earnings threshold which they are paid from on airports iii.) the impact of government policy, such as surface access requirements on airports.

The Government is committed to undertake a review into the impact of airport drop off charges on users. While 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. The review could also examine wider industry costs and how airports use revenue generated from drop-off charges to support airport operations and investment.
