Leeds Bradford Airport £100m Regeneration Programme

[Aviador]

Demolition of the old shed housing the old Belt 3, AOU and Swissport offices has begun today. Excavators have left the new stands area but they don't look ready for pouring yet. The small duty free outlet in the extension is being installed after its initial period of dormancy

Does this essentially mean we will have three news stands now this space is available?

Arrive yesterday evening on LS212 from Jersey, the baggage reclaim area is so much better than the dingy dungeon in the old terminal and will be a boom next summer when we have hopefully lots of flights.View attachment 32857

Any signs of belt 4 and 5 yet?

Unconfirmed it Stand 4 will be reopened, only rumours at this stage.

Nothing as yet last evening when passing through the baggage reclaim hall.

Old Baggage reclaim now completely gutted.

Am I correct in thinking this will become the new csz?

 

[Yorkieflyer]

Believe so

You are.

Finally. It was really not much use with two or more flights to handle.

Am I on my own saying I still love the exterior design of the old building? I would have loved the new building to have been the same.

Am I correct in thinking the remains of the infamous "bus shelter" (stand 12 to 14) are to be removed?

It won’t be removed in the near future. It will be replaced by the 2 possibly 3 storey pier which will be built onto the end of the new extension and extend down to the stand 16 area. This is still in the planning stage and survey work for it will be taking place in mid November. I think the timescale for this is in the next 2/3 years, but that could obviously change.

The old section of walkway (bus shelter) at the head of stage 8 will be removed this winter.

What's the latest?

What's the latest?

All seems quiet on the Western Front. We are there on Sunday, so I will try to take a picture of anything interesting.

In a few weeks there will be a new route into the terminal extension, along with closing parts of the Saltaire bar and Starbucks being takeaway only until spring. The new route will be through the gate three area.

Boots have ramped up their food prices.

 

[Aviador]

Its all gone rather quiet with the regeneration project, is there any update on how things are progressing?

 

[Sputnik1]

The remaining section of walkway at Stand 8 is quickly being taken down today. Should be finished by tomorrow.

New stands are painted and floodlights installed.

Survey work is underway on the grass area heading up Delta. Must be for future stands.

Splendid news. Would you be kind enough to post some photographs at your convenience, provided you have an opportunity? Thankyou.

They wouldn't be looking to spend serious money building stands if they didn't think they were going to get used…

I passed through on Monday and the Saltaire bar is now walled off and Starbucks much reduced in size. Cabin bar still open and you are directed to the new extension via the corner of the raised area for gates 1-3.

Not sure if there are any photos of the new stands, but managed to snip the enclosed from a YouTube video. Courtesy of Skiathos Paul.
