A major London airport raises its passenger drop-off fees again, marking a second increase within the year. The airport previously increased the fee in September 2025, bringing it to £7, and it now applies a further higher charge for vehicles dropping off travellers.
The outlets agree on the timing and the fact that the rise is the second in 12 months. The Independent reports that drop-off fees have increased by 40% to £7 as of September 2025, indicating the earlier change that preceded the latest adjustment. Yahoo UK News also covers the second increase, but provides limited additional detail in the material provided.
Taken together, the reporting shows a sustained pattern of fee increases rather than a one-off change. However, based on the excerpts available, the exact new fee level applied in the most recent increase is not stated in the shared text.
