East Midlands Airport Parking: Rapid Drop-off charge increases to £4 for 15 minutes – and then £1 per minute

East Midlands Airport Parking – East Midlands Airport has announced the increase which it says is because it ‘lost all passenger revenue’ during lockdown.

 

In a communication today which announced the resumption of passenger flights, a spokesperson said that anyone driving to the airport should note that only a limited number of car parks will be in operation, drivers are advised to familiarise themselves with booking details and follow the signs to the correct car park.

Adding that because of a ‘loss of all passenger income streams since March’, the airport has had to increase prices for some services including rapid drop off (RDO).
