Manchester Airport is scrapping its free drop-off lanes in order to ease traffic congestion.
Instead, people will have to pay to drop others off – or use a shuttle bus based a mile away.
From June there will be a £3 charge to stop for five minutes outside the terminals, bus and train stations. Up to 10 minutes' parking will cost £4.
The free 'drop-off and ride' shuttle bus service will be introduced in the long-stay Jet Park 1 in Thorley Lane.
Chief operating officer Tricia Williams said: "The simple fact is our forecourts were not designed to handle the number of vehicles they do today and do not have the capacity to cope with any further growth in the number of people being dropped-off immediately outside our terminals."
