Vehicles dropping passengers right outside Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal will now have to pay £5 per visit.

The airport announced plans for the scheme in October last year but now bosses have confirmed the charge will be introduced from March 8.

The charge is set to be extended to the South Terminal in the future.

Bosses said the scheme will cut traffic congestion and emissions as well as being a deterrent for a car-led recovery when more regular travel resumes.
