Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
These arrangements do not exist in a regulatory vacuum. Parking operators function within the bounds of UK consumer protection law and industry standards, allowing for intervention if such practices constitute a breach of these standards. The revenue generated from parking and drop-off charges is an important part of an airport’s wider commercial model, and that income can be used for essential investment in airport infrastructure and passenger facilities, including to support the delivery of an airport’s surface access strategy, directly subsidising cleaner public transport options.
