  • London City Airport will introduce a drop-off charge for vehicles at its terminal by the end of the year.
  • This makes it the last major UK airport to implement such a fee, which will also apply to commercial services like taxis and Uber.
  • Airport bosses state the charge is intended to support sustainability goals, reduce congestion, lower emissions, and improve air quality.
