Overview

• Glasgow Airport has increased its minimum drop-off fee from £5.50 to £6, marking a nearly 10% rise.
• Short-stay parking rates have also been raised, with a 20-minute stay now costing £8, up from £7, and two hours priced at £24.
• The free one-hour long-stay drop-off option, which includes a shuttle service to the terminal, remains unchanged.
• Critics, including motoring groups, argue that the fee hikes exploit motorists who have few transportation alternatives to the airport.
• In 2023, Glasgow Airport reported an after-tax profit of over £40 million, intensifying scrutiny of its pricing practices.
