I have received the information below from the Airport:
"Dear Councillor,
We write to inform you of a change to the pricing structure of the airport’s Pick Up & Drop Off (PUDO) car parking offer from 3rd April 24.
To help address ongoing increases in the airport’s operating costs, we have taken the decision to increase the PUDO rate by £0.50 making the minimum charge £6.50.
LBA’s pricing remains competitive with other UK regional airports and customers in full EV’s will still be able to park for free for one hour in the PUDO, encouraging environmentally sustainable travel. Travelling Blue Badge holders will still have access to the PUDO for 60mins for the £6.50 fee.
Additionally, we will continue to offer one hour free parking onsite within close walking distance of the terminal, making LBA the only UK airport to do so.
The changes are being communicated to passengers through updated signage and our website.
Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Head of Planning Development"
