Although Duo's hint says 接 means "pick up", the literal meaning is "to welcome or meet someone". In American English "pick up" means coming to get someone with a vehicle, but I don't think the Chinese 接 is only used with that meaning. If someone was coming to meet you without a car, it's something you would want to know.
That being said, your suggestion is similar to Duo's and should also be accepted.

"Can you come to the airport to fetch me?", "Can you come to the airport to pick me up?", "Can you come and pick me up at the airport?" etc. I tried a lot of different versions. Reported 9th November 2018

English speakers of English would like an 'and' between the verbs if both have to be used to show a 'proper' translation. i.e. Can you come and pick me up ...
