Work Colleague was at Norwich Airport yesterday and they charge £10 to get to the gates?? Is that next  

Newquay used to a charge £5 tax on departing passengers. They were upfront about it stating that it would be used to improve the airport which was on the site of a former RAF base.
Most accepted this, a bit different from the congestion shite being used by Glasgow though.

The other view may be that others are "profiting" from the terrorist threat, the previous "drop-off" was created after the attack on Glasgow Airport as part of the "security" measures.

I don't have a problem with this at all. Edinburgh Airport has been doing it for years and the money made from the scheme has been channelled into attracting new airlines and services to the airport by reducing landing charges in start-up deals etc

Indeed , the introduction of the tank traps in front of the building would have stopped a similar attack to the 2007 one anyway. .

Don't go near the place in your own car. Park and fly if you are going away and tell those pesky auld inebriated relatives that come home from the Canaries to get a taxi. Simple. Only issue on the down side is the taxi basses go grumpy when you say Paisley town centre please, but not via Dundee.

To be fair, a charge pick-up/drop off point has been in place in car park 2 for the last 7 years. The 'fly' drop off area at the bend on the one way system, which has now been shut off was sometimes creating two lanes of cars parking into an active lane. 

I feel the off-site airport long stay car parks will profit from the changes.
