Ryanair considering Leeds Bradford base
09.08.08
Ryanair is reported to be considering establishing a base at Leeds Bradford Airport. The Telegraph & Argus says that this would include expanding the number of flights it operates from the Yorkshire hub to between ten and 20, subject to a deal with airport bosses.
Last month the budget airline announced two new routes from Leeds Bradford to Spain, days after cutting back its schedule to Dublin this winter by 34%. Ryanair said the additional flights were expected to bring an extra 100,000 people through the airport.
Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary said the airline was in talks with Leeds Bradford, but the move would depend on the airport agreeing a low-cost deal. Tony Hallwood, the airport’s aviation development director said he is in talks with a wide number of or airlines, including Ryanair, about future operations.
