Petition

Force airports to allow a grace period for picking up/dropping off passengers.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it illegal to force people to pay for dropping off and picking up passengers from airports. It is unreasonable to force car drivers/owners to pay a fee for dropping off and picking up passengers from airports when they are only there for less than 20 minutes
The amount of time it takes to drop or collect people from the airport is of a very short duration and it only adds to the cost of travel and holidays to impose these ridiculous fees. Just today I see a person penalised £170 after stopping for less than 5 minutes. Moreover, they could only pay on line. This is detrimental to any one without internet capability.
