Government’s infrastructure plans a missed opportunity for Leeds/Bradford Airport’s new £150 million terminal development

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.

Time To Modernise LBA

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.

LBA Support Group – Statement on Leeds/Bradford Airport's Planning Application

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...

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: 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.

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...
