LEEDS BRADFORD UNVEILS TERMINAL EXPANSION PLAN

Leeds Bradford Airport in the UK has unveiled plans for a three-storey extension to its terminal building, that once complete, will house a transformed international arrivals process, including immigration, baggage reclaim and customs. 

The extension will also accommodate new, larger departure gates, seating areas and new retail and food & beverage outlets.

Once the new building is completed – scheduled for the end of 2019 – works will then commence on re-modelling the existing terminal building to provide a new security central search area, enhanced check-in facilities, and a simplification of the customer journey through the existing departure lounge, which will also include new retail and F&B offers. We expect these works to be complete for summer 2020.

The final phase will include the construction of a new pier, replacing the current passenger walkway with a two-storey structure, housing arrivals and ground level, and departures being processed at additional new boarding gates on the first floor.

As part of its redevelopment plans, the airport is inviting the people of Yorkshire to contribute to the future development of their airport.

In addition to a three-week consultation period, airport officials will be hosting a drop-in event at the Britannia Hotel in Bramhope on Thursday, September 27. and the proposals will now go through Leeds City Council’s planning process.

Airport choef executive, David Laws, said: “These really are exciting times for this airport and we are delighted to be able to now share our plans for phase two of our terminal redevelopment.

“This new extension will transform the experience for both departing and arriving passengers whilst also adding a ‘sense of place and pride’ throughout the terminal, as we want to play our part in creating a great first impression for inbound visitors.
