Bournemouth airport is to charge for the privilege of using the airport- is that right

From the Bournemouth Echo this week approx. 6th April 2011-
BOURNEMOUTH Airport will be charging people to pick up and drop passengers from next week.
At present, vehicles including taxis dropping off or picking up passengers are not charged for the first 10 minutes of parking and pay £2.50 for a stay between 10-30 minutes.
But from Thursday, April 14 the free 10-minute period will be removed meaning all vehicles will be charged £2.50 for a stay of up to 30 minutes.
Rob Goldsmith, MD of the airport, said: “Our car parks are conveniently located adjacent to the terminal buildings and the charges for on-site airport parking are among the cheapest in southern England.
