Manchester drop-off switched to barrierless ANPR
Manchester Airport replaced its barrier-based pick-up and drop-off zones with a barrierless, automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) system that came into operation in late March 2025 on a phased basis. Cameras record vehicles entering the zones and drivers pay the charge by midnight the following day, online or by phone; existing charges were unchanged at launch.
