Why are prices changing at Birmingham Airport?

A Birmingham Airport spokesperson told Newsquest: “We are reducing the free period to release more capacity within the car park.

“The 10 minutes is designed to allow customers sufficient time to drop off, as the car park is designed for.

“For customers wanting to pick up passengers, we would advise using Car Park 1.”
