Safety and congestion problems have led to East Midlands Airport steeply increasing the charge for dropping off passengers.
Previously, drivers were given 10 minutes to drop off at a price of £2. That time has now been halved to five minutes and there are penalty charges of £1 a minute if people don't get out in time.
Andy Tyler from the airport told the BBC: "It is long enough for the majority of our customers.
"We do have the blue badges areas for our disabled passengers and we have one-hour free parking for those who want to spend a bit longer saying goodbye."
Passengers don't seem impressed though. One person said: "I'm not happy about it at all actually."
Another said: "It's absolutely ridiculous people are human beings - there's old, there's young. It's going to take them time."
