Leeds Bradford enjoys a record month
23.09.08
Leeds Bradford Airport saw a record 345,000 passengers pass through its terminal last month – the highest the airport has experienced in a single month since opening in 1931, and 5% up on August last year.
The number of passengers using Leeds Bradford during the summer months has also shown significant growth, with a total of 1,277,752 passengers passing through the airport from May to August, making the airport one of the fastest growing airports in the UK.
Tony Hallwood, commercial director of the airport, said: ‘Leeds Bradford International Airport continues to outperform the market and takes its lead from the strength of the Yorkshire Economy. With our route network now at 76 destinations and growing, we are delivering to both business and leisure passengers and increasing inbound tourism opportunities.'
He said efforts would be made in the coming months to attract more inbound passengers, and that this would benefit the local economy and create jobs.
