Summer 2017 is set to be busier than ever at Leeds Bradford Airport, with new routes, even more capacity and a host of improvements set to be unveiled at the airport in time for the summer season.
Jet 2.com is introducing new routes to Berlin, Halkidiki, Naples, Almeria and Girona for the summer season in addition to Ryanair’s new routes to Warsaw, Gran Canaria, Vilnius and Bratislava. Thomas Cook is returning to LBA, with a wide range of package holidays on offer, and Thomson has also extended its programme at Leeds Bradford Airport.
Tony Hallwood, Aviation Development Director, LBA, said: “We’re really excited for what 2017 will bring for LBA and our passengers. Air connectivity is essential for business and leisure passengers and we are determined to ensure that both inbound and outbound travellers have the very best experience when flying through LBA.”
The airport’s final Masterplan 2023 is set to be published this year, detailing the changes and developments that will be delivered at the airport to improve passenger experiences. Passengers will be able to enjoy the first stages of those changes this summer, with more light and space in the landside walkway and check-in area, extra security lanes, new retail units and improved toilet facilities.
The increased routes and capacity mean Leeds Bradford Airport now flies to more than 75 destinations across 25 countries. With nearly 22,000 flights taking off from LBA each year, the airport is set to surpass its current record of 3.5 million passengers, which were handled in 2016.
