Alison McInnesCommenting on Edinburgh Airport's plans to levy a £1 charge on cars dropping off passengers, and speculation that the charge could be increased, Liberal Democrat Transport spokesperson Alison McInnes said:

"We want people to take public transport wherever possible and for those living in Edinburgh city centre there is an excellent Airlink bus service, but for many people there are few if any direct links to the airport.

"This is not a fair charge, and it will not tackle congestion at the airport.

"This is just a money-raising scheme by Edinburgh Airport and I urge them to think again."
