Air passengers being picked up or dropped off at Gatwick Airport face another sharp rise in the fee charged at London's second largest air hub.

A more than 40 percent rise to £10 for a maximum 10 minutes will be used to fund a number of 'sustainable transport initiatives', according to the airport.

Gatwick is one of the most popular routes used by travellers from the Island.

Schipol Airport in Amsterdam is the only other one of Europe's 10 largest airports to charge a drop-off fee.
