Clearing Up The Misunderstanding Of The Feeder Park Entry Fee

There has been a little bit of misunderstanding about the new price hike at Heathrow, and as usual people appear to be pointing the finger at me (New Taxi Leaks....although i’ve misled no one!


So here again is the new feeder park entry fee along with the information I’ve been given by the LCDC Rep. 


Because of the fall in income at the feeder park HAL wanted to recover its losses by putting up the entry price to 10.54 plus VAT that’s £12.64 in total...a staggering increase from £3.60. 


After a Zoom meeting with trade reps, it was decided that the price hike would be spread over a two year period instead of the one and the price would therefore drop to just the £10. That being £8.00 plus VAT. 


Also, the trade will also be hit with a drop off set down price at each terminal of £5.00. This is to be introduced in October 2021.


Taking into consideration the hike is to be bought in to cover the losses of 2020-2021, we have also been informed that HAL may being in another entry fee hike to cover losses for 2021-2022.


This information has been given to me by LCDC airport Rep Toney Casey, who has attended the feeder park consistently unlike some other Orgs reps who are either abroad of have jobs outside the Taxi trade at present. 


With regard to reps at Heathrow, Tony Casey of the LCDC has been there for over 13 months, mostly 24 hours a day.


If anyone wants any further information about gate money figures, or anything else concerning the airport, then JUST ASK HIM.


Tony has attended all meetings with HAL.
