Manchester Airport’s sky-high parking fees are sparking outrage, with critics questioning how $150 for two weeks stacks up against a single day in the city center. Managing Director Chris Woodroofe defends the rates as competitive, noting the airport must compete with taxis and ride-shares, while stressing that parking revenue funds critical upgrades like new multi-story lots. He also highlights their rock-bottom $5.50 drop-off fee — the lowest among UK airports — though he won’t confirm if more parking will lower costs. The debate ignited after passenger Ray McGee slammed the comparison, and politicians demand full transparency on parking revenue. A new barrierless system aims to ease traffic but has drawn backlash over $100 late fees for missing midnight deadlines — despite most drivers paying less. Still, the airport touts budget-friendly JetParks and seamless public transit access via free drop-offs and on-site train, bus, and tram stations.
