Airport to introduce £2 trolley charge
11.12.10
Passengers using Cardiff Airport will have to pay to use baggage trolleys from next week. There is currently no charge for the trolleys but that will change on Tuesday, when new trolleys will be introduced and a £2 non-refundable charge made for their use. The new trolleys will be stored in a special bay and released when a passenger puts £2 or €2 into a coin machine.
The decision to charge brings Cardiff into line with other UK airports including Luton, Birmingham and Bristol, however most large airports including Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester offer free trolley use.
Newport-based company Airport Cart Service (ACS) Limited will supply and operate the service. Cardiff Airport has said that it will not receive any income from the £2 fee, but it will make some savings as it will no longer have to supply free trolleys, not maintain or manage them.
