Heathrow Airport has announced changes to passenger drop‑offs at its terminals, making it more expensive and enforcing a time limit for the first time. From January, the west London airport will increase its terminal drop-off fee from £6 to £7 and will give travellers 10 minutes in the drop-off areas before issuing a Parking Charge Notice (PCN). Visitors to the drop-off zones can pre-pay online or by phone and must do before midnight the following day otherwise they could be charged an £80 fine. A spokesperson for the airport, which is the busiest in the country, said the changes were aimed at "smoothing traffic flow and reducing congestion".
