A burst water main in Yeadon which left Leeds Bradford Airport without supply has been fixed.

Yorkshire Water dealt with the leakage as a matter of urgency, but access to toilet facilities were unavailable for around 20 minutes.

The water supply has since returned to Leeds Bradford, meaning all retail, lounge and toilets are now fully operational.
In the latest update from the airport, a spokesperson for Leeds Bradford said: "Thank you for your patience. We’ve been informed that Yorkshire Water has fixed the problem.

The burst water mains was first reported at around 19:30 yesterday evening at the Fountain crossroads.

Short of news!

20 minutes without toilet facilities IS a big deal at my age!

I believe it was considered good luck to urinate on the tailwheel of bombers before a mission.

Good job that modern jets don't have tail wheels then isn't it.

Such behaviour warrants a penance. Say three Our Father's and three Hail Mary's and pray for forgiveness .

I shall look forward to your review!

WH I think he should add three Kyries as well

I kept quiet about having to use MAN to go to Airbus in May. Mind you, I am using LBA to go to Sicily next month.

Amen to that.

It will be expanded to a 55,000 capacity long before 2028. It's a crazy decision, and could yet be reversed if the stadium plans go ahead. Not including Elland Road or Anfield yet having the MK Dons ground is nuts.

Its needs to be a 55,000 capacity stadium as non season ticket holders dont stand a chance seeing a game atm!

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Airport also benefits from this as increased traffic to see LUFC at home especially on weekend matches. If the extra capacity at Elland Road is for a mixture of season ticket holders and random game to game buyers.

Shame Ryanair cannot see said benefit of laying on extra capacity with DUB flights. I reckon Jet2 would make a little coin earner if they did special LBA-DUB-LBA flights for LUFC home games only.

It's easy to be the best when it's half empty much of the time and in a nice new terminal. Being best and being viable are two different things. Now, it will soon be just a memory.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Now if we had our now cancelled shiny new terminal things im sure would be very bright at LBA.
Still though with a revamped current 1960s terminal and extension things may still happen
I don't know much about freight operations but with a much reduced work force could DSA be used just for freight or is simply the case no way enough freight aircraft pass through the airport to make it profitable esp with EMA nearby?

 

[mdobuk21]

Yeah, real shame it’s closing, as an enthusiast/photographer it brings in some great visitors. Closet place to see a 747 too. Apparently last TUI flight is 4th November.
