Unfortunately a number of airport operators have seized a heaven-sent opportunity today to increase their revenue after this incident and direct all incoming vehicles into their short-term car parks to drop off, where the users have to pay. Airports have long had the drop-off traffic in their sights as yet another revenue stream to plunder, and this has given them the chance to slip it in while pretending it is all in aid of security. This is a completely unacceptable approach, to profiteer on the back of the events in Glasgow.
Totally agree, Liverpool currently has some sort of work going on where the normal pick up/drop off is so all traffic is directed to the car park. However, they have changed the pricing so the 1st 10 minutes is free and made a pick up/drop off point in the car park. That's what all of the airports should be doing.
