Abstract: As transportation network companies (TNC) such as Uber and Lyft drive a change in modern transport behaviours, fewer passengers pay for services such as parking or commercial vehicle drop-off at airports; meaning, what once was a primary revenue source for airports now has a tenuous future. Therefore, airports must find a way to counterbalance the revenue losses created by these changes. One such solution has been on the rise in the united kingdom. With airport drop-off and pick-up charges, private vehicles must pay for the convenience of loading or unloading passengers at the airport entrance. Not only does this practice have the potential to generate millions of dollars in annual revenue, but it also offers a remedy for other maladies, such as congestion and safety issues on airport roads. This paper examines the effects the drop-off and pick-up charges have had in the United Kingdom and explores what US airports might expect should they too adopt the practice.
