Belfast International Airport has confirmed a £3 charge will apply at its drop off zone from Monday. Currently it costs £1 to use the facility.

The Drop Off Zone is based directly adjacent to the terminal building.

In a post on social media Belfast International Airport said: “We would like to make passengers aware of changes” affecting those dropping off and collecting passengers from Monday April 17."

"We will continue to offer 15 minutes free of charge in the long stay car park. Blue Badge holders can use the short stay car park free of charge for 30 minutes at Belfast International Airport for getting dropped off or collected."

“The drop off zone will increase to £3 for up to 10 minutes.”

It comes as Belfast City Airport introduced the same fee last month for vehicles using the express drop off service.

Belfast City Airport said at the time they hoped the reconfiguration would ensure improved traffic flow and access on site, and provides more choice for motorists when parking or picking up/dropping off passengers at the airport.
