00:01Passengers using Newcastle International Airport are criticising increased parking
00:05charges introduced earlier this month. The airport raised prices for its express
00:10pick-up and drop-off zone from £5 to £6, while short-stay parking for 15 minutes increased
00:16from £3 to £4. Travellers described the charges as excessive, with some calling them
00:23a needless tax on visitors arriving in the North East. Airport bosses say rising costs
00:29have forced the increase and insist parking income supports investment in facilities,
00:34airline services and regional connections. The airport also says drivers can still use
00:39a free waiting zone beside Calliton Metro Station.
