Belfast City Airport has increased the charge for people collecting or dropping off passengers in a designated zone from £3 to £4.

The £1 rise to use the express pick-up and drop-off area for the first 10 minutes came into effect on Tuesday.

The airport said the increase was due to “rising costs” associated with “maintaining and operating” their facilities and it would allow them to “invest in the safety, security, and quality” of their car parks.

Drivers will still be able to access the long stay car park at the airport for 10 minutes for free when dropping off and picking up passengers.

Blue badge holders are also able to use the short stay car park for two hours for free if they show their badge to the airport’s parking team.

The airport has encouraged passengers to consider using other means of travel such as public transport.

The current express pick-up and drop-off area was introduced in 2023 as part of an overhaul of the airport’s parking.

The airport’s director of operations at the time, Mark Beattie, said the redesign was introduced to allow them to “expand and improve” options for drivers and to enhance access for pedestrians.
