With quite a few new destinations next year they must go through the 10 million passengers barrier next year, plus coming 2nd in the European Awards best airport in 5-10million category 2016 must be seen as a successful anniversary year.

£2 for ten minutes isn't awful and also 30mins free in the long-stay. People have the option to go to the free drop off or the paid for one.

Most airports, even terrorist fearing and gun ridden US of A ones don't behave like this. You can park outside the terminal to drop people off. It's Airport 1.01.
The British take ripping off a captive market seriously.
Also one of the indicators that free market competition between airports doesn't always help the consumer. Airports do not seek to use customer friendly behaviours to differentiate market positioning if another revenue stream can be created and more money milked off the consumer.
The Islamists must be laughing their heads off.....we keep allowing the terrorists to change our way of life AND the penalise outselves some more. Much of this is just group-think.

Many EU airports are state owned as are the airports in the USA. UK airports on the other hand are privately owned and therefore are responsible for the road network at the airport hence the difference. If GLA was state owned the road network would be maintained by the tax payer so either way the public will pay for the road up keep and maintenance at their local airport worldwide either directly in the UK or by stealth elsewhere in the world.
If GLA was serious in its intent to curb private car congestion they would allow licensed taxis free-of-charge drop-off and pick-up access, thereby encouraging the modal shift they say is necessary.
However taxis will also be subject to the £2 charge which can rise quickly to £30 for 31-60 minutes.
PS: any minute now one of the EDI-boosters will be along to crow that it's only £1 drop-off there. Let's see what happens...

Heard on the local radio (Aberdeen) this morning that Emirates are now offering the complimentary chauffeur service for business class passengers in Aberdeen and Dundee post codes for flights from Glasgow.

I would be interested to know, if anyone has any details, how the ME3 are doing in Scotland (and please, no "my airport is better than your airport" nonsense). Any data re LF, premium carryings, growth (or not) would be of interest.

Excellent news regarding Ryanair to both Krakow and Madrid.
GLA now offers direct flights to 9 Polish destinations. Impressive.
And it's long overdue Scotland's largest economy has a direct link to Madrid.
Excellent news indeed.
