A sad day as everyone's says, but for me, I think it now takes away the uncertainty of any development taking place for what could have been 2 more years, and then the result could have been no to the new terminal. Now LBA can get on and develop the current terminal and make it more "up to date"...
Good to see Vincent Hodder on Look North today saying how appalling it is that the Government has not made a decision on the terminal development. It's the second time he has been on Look North after talking about how the airport will be carbon neutral by 2030. Its about time LBA started to get...
I think its been a total lack of vision from the powers that be at LCC and other West Yorkshire councils. There's almost a self belief that we can't be like London or even Manchester. Its fresh blood that is needed in both the council and with regional politics, and I am not sure Tracy Brabin is...
Sorry, don't want to seem ignorant, but why can't LBA just build the new terminal and not extend the flying hours as Bristol has done if its the new flying hours are contentious?
Something I don't get....so Bristol can grow to around 9 million px with just as tough time restrictions as LBA/ So how come we need to extend our hours if Bristol could grow to such large figures with those restrictions?
Thanks for your update to my questions White Heather and Concorde_LBA. I thought there was around 50 departures a day back in 2019 and didn't realise it was as high as 70. I suppose we should be thankful we are seeing the increase in flights from just a few months ago.
As for the operational...
Great work there lbaspotter. Am I right in saying that the volume of departures on the schedules above is not that different to the busy summer schedule of say 2019?
Also, I can't understand how there are flights departing from 6-6.30am and after 11pm when I thought that was the discussion for...
Can someone please tell me how Teesside Airport is opening new routes all the time and seem to be now serving UK locations that I don't think even LBA are not serving?
How come they are building their route network at a pace LBA could only dream of?
Fantastic news and congratulations to all those that have supported the airport and the development and passionately put forward the argument for it to happen. Now lets see it get built with the Parkway station, and aviation in Leeds will have taken a giant leap forward.
This is the worst headline I have seen in the media from thebusinessdesk.com.....and the report is just as bad. Shame on them when they push articles all the time about new developments bringing jobs and wealth to the area, including positive reports for DSA...
LBA clearly being shown on the Leeds to Otley line as possible mass transit. I think the importance of this shows commitment from LCC and WYCA for both a mass transit route to the airport and the parkway development. My glass is always half full, so does that not say there must be a will to...
my support is in. The MP's and councillors should be made to explain their actions in regards to jobs, economic growth, investment of £150m in an environmentally friendly new terminal, the likes we don't really have in this country. They should not be allowed to get away with denouncing LBA's...
Have hope everyone!!!

Fantastic news and glad I have joined this forum just as the most exciting development in the airports recent history could be happening. Like everyone here, I really hope this happens and with AMP already agreeing the money is there, I think there is every chance it will get built.
My only...
well the last episode was a revelation. It was almost like the management at LBA has seen all the criticism of the series, and said to the producers, now broadcast a really positive episode making the airport look good. I know it can t be the case, but it was a great advert for the airport and...
