Government’s infrastructure plans a missed opportunity for Leeds/Bradford Airport’s new £150 million terminal development Wednesday, July 1st 2020 The Prime Minister’s plans for what he describes as shovel-ready infrastructure sound dynamic enough. However, if he is serious about it then he must help get planning approval by Labour run Leeds City Council for Leeds Bradford Airport’s £150 million terminal development quickly. This new terminal development will very quickly generate hundreds of highly skilled construction jobs across the Leeds City Region. It will help with getting more young people into apprenticeships; this will also be underpinned by the airport introducing more new job roles starting in the terminal once...
Time To Modernise LBA Passengers at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) have suffered a poor experience for too long and it is time to bring it into the 21st century and modernise, say airport bosses. LBA’s plans for a replacement terminal, submitted to Leeds City Council in May, propose the construction of a modern, three floor, 34,000 sq. mt. building on an alternative site within the airport’s boundary. If approved, the new state-of-the-art terminal building, designed by leading architects, would deliver a passenger experience beyond what is achievable in the existing terminal, built in 1965 and which has a legacy of several piecemeal extensions over the course of its 55-year history. If approved, passengers using LBA’s new terminal...
LBA Support Group – Statement on Leeds/Bradford Airport's Planning Application The proposed plans for a new terminal for Leeds Bradford Airport make absolute economic sense. The areas surrounding the airport will benefit from the construction of a new terminal at a time when jobs are at significant risk due to the impact of Covid-19, providing an immediate boost to the local economy. LBA serves two of the largest cities in the UK, (Leeds being the UKs 3rd largest city by population) and the majority of the wider Yorkshire region, yet it lags behind in 15th place by passenger throughput, being one of the smaller regional airports. It has spent many years trying to make up lost ground on competing airports due to continual...
A day in the life of Leeds University hypocrisy The doctorate rebellion and curbing "airport expansion" Leeds Universities where the latest round of anti airport doctorates come from have spent the last couple of decades expanding their campuses and encouraging large numbers of foreign students from around the world to flock to Leeds to study, use our transport networks, our airport, our city's facilities and services. Leeds University "part of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN), compromising of 23 research-intensive institutions spanning six continents" In their elaborate quest to invite as many overseas students as possible to further fund the expansion of Leeds Universities and their quango studies into climate change...
Leeds Bradford Airport Submits Proposal For Efficient And Sustainable Replacement Terminal Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has submitted its planning application to build a new, state-of-the-art replacement terminal to Leeds City Council. The proposal aims to dramatically improve passenger experience, deliver one of the UK’s most environmentally efficient airport buildings, and support the region’s economic prosperity. The plans, first announced in January this year, replace a previously consented scheme and LBA’s existing terminal building with a more efficient and sustainable development, enabling the airport to reach its target of becoming carbon net zero by 2023 for airport operations. The plans propose the construction of a three...
Leeds: Council Scraps Airport Link Road Proposals Traffic queuing on the A65 in Yeadon today Airport Support Members Dismayed After years of debate and public consultations Leeds City Council has abandoned plans for a £100m link road to Leeds Bradford Airport. The original plans showed three different options, two were direct links to the airport from the A65 at Horsforth, one was to upgrade the existing road network surrounding the airport. The news has come as a great shock to those who for years have demanded action to improve access to the airport. Leeds City Council says it intends to continue to pursue proposals to build a new airport parkway station close to the airport but it's difficult to see how this can be achieved...

The plans propose the construction of a three floor, 34,000 sq. mt. terminal on an alternative site within the airport’s boundary. If approved, this upgrade would create a modern airport...
