You do not have a penalty charge ... APCOA cannot issue a penalty charge. (@Coupon-mad was saying, for info, that IF you had a penalty charge it would have to be pursued - via the Magistrate's court - within 6 months otherwise it would time out).
If you appealed a parking charge, in time, and received a rejection then you could raise an appeal with POPLA. In your case you're out of time for a POPLA appeal, so just sit tight and see if APCOA try to pursue the charges via a court claim - this is very unlikely for an airport case as it would open a whole can of worms that they wouldn't want seeing the light of day.

I am not sure how I can improve or further explain this advice:If the POPLA Code is out of date - which it is - just ignore APCOA. That's not safe to do with all PPCs but it is with APCOA at Airports.
They never sue anyone. Nothing will happen.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
