Airport parking charges ‘crazy’

LONG-stay parking charges at Jersey Airport are the highest in Britain.

LONG-stay parking charges at Jersey Airport are the highest in Britain.
Motorists pay £100.80 to park for seven days – significantly more than the notoriously expensive London airports and almost twice as much as Guernsey Airport.
The sky-high charges have been revealed in a survey by consumer magazine Which?, which examined parking costs at the UK’s busiest airports.
Although Jersey was not included in the survey, the JEP has found that seven-day parking at the Airport is £12 per week higher than the business parking option at Heathrow, which topped the league.
Senator Alan Breckon, chairman of the Consumer Council, said that the Airport parking charges were ‘crazy’.(from JEP)

Total rip-off...

My family and I have become so anti paying any charges at the airport even if we pick up friends we arrange for them to mobile phone us once they have retrieved their bags.

Normally we wait in a free car park a couple of minutes down the road, when called we wizz up and collect them.

One of the few airports in the world with NO free pick up zone. Yes you guessed it a man with a bright yellow jacket has tried to stop us but what can you say, when in less than a minute, stopped, loaded and gone.

Another perfect example of putting the wage packet of layers of far to many Airport managers, over common sense and the the public interest.

Lets not forget, no apologies from Sen. Paul Routier ( States member special responcibility for the airport ), he just reads out a prepared statement from airport civil servants,no apology, not serving us, just looking down on the islanders, until election time of course.
