That is very true, and the problem is more acute at airports such as EMA and LTN where passenger traffic is dominated by the likes of Ryanair, Easyjet and Wizz.
Airports such as MAN, GLA and BHX which have a better mix ought not to have quite the same imperative, but will jump on the money making cash cow that is pick up and drop off anyway.
