No. They will need a taxi.
Taking people to the airport is one of the things mentioned in the specific things you can't do.
(Seems silly to me as surely the taxi driver will have more contact with lots of people than you will).

Friends of mine were taken back to the airport today by someone and they were told the driver had to have details of the flight and carry his passport, not sure if that is correct I would never doubt Marcliff

Marcliffe, I have the utmost respect for you, your posts are excellent, and you are always extremely knowledgeable and informative.
During today on Big FM there were frequent announcements on what you could and couldn't do. One specific thing was that you can take friends to the airport, provided you do it individually, and have copies of bookings / boarding passes to show in case that you are challenged.
They may be wrong...???

Under the Good Guide to the Lockdown you get this:
Can I give someone a lift or take somebody to the airport? How many passengers are allowed?
Not recommended. Authorities have said that only those with valid reason can take to the roads and have ruled out people taking passengers in their car.

From The Local.es
Several readers have got in touch to ask whether they will be allowed to drive other people to the airport, such as house guests or friends and relatives who are due to return to the UK.
They have said that only those with valid reason can take to the roads and have ruled out people taking passengers even if the passengers and not the driver themselves have a valid reason (for example, you cannot take your partner to work).
(Ref the above, the previous day's answer was this hasn't been clarified so don't risk it, use a taxi).

The Olive Press says you can pick up a member of your family from the airport.

From La Vanguardia:
It is not allowed to give lift to airports or ferries to associates


So it looks like you pays yer money and you takes yer choice.
