HEATHROW was accused yesterday of imposing exorbitant car parking charges on low-paid workers despite the airport poised to set a new record for passenger numbers this year.

The airport is projected to serve 30 million passengers from June to September 2024, making it the highest number for that period in its history.

But Heathrow Airport Limited (Hal) raised parking charges from £27.19 to £81 per month from earlier this year — a huge 198 per cent rise, which GMB union has demanded be reversed.
