Luton Airport introduces drop off scheme

LUTON AIRPORT, which is owned by two Spanish companies, has introduced new parking rules which seem to have gone down very badly with the travelling public.  The free concession on a bus service from Luton Parkway station was withdrawn some time back.  Under the new arrangements passengers can be dropped off or picked up at the mid-term car park with no charge for the first 60 minutes.  Allow 15 minutes for this procedure and for loading/unloading and transport of luggage.  The service is every ten minutes.  To drop off outside the terminal the charge is UKP1 and this must be completed in ten minutes.  Considerable queues were experienced during the first few days of operation although the airport says these have now been eliminated.  The airport introduced what it claims is the UK’s first airport car share scheme in early June (see AERBT 15 June 2009). www.london-luton.com
