BHX is no different to many other airports in charging a king's ransom to drop off and pick up
It kicked off after the Glasgow incident and there was no need for it. Just taking advantage of a situation to fill their pockets. May I remind you that before Glasgow, drop off and pick up was free of charge at all UK airports.

Btw, I wasn't suggesting that BHX was alone in this, but I have yet to come across an airport on my side of the channel which charges for this.
You probably won't find an airport on your side of the Channel that is privately owned. The UK may be unique in this respect.

Co-incidence? Who knows.
