Leeds Bradford International Airport
Yeadon Aerodrome (as Leeds Bradford International Airport was then
known) began operating with club flying and training flights in 1931.
With the outbreak of the Second World War, all civil flying ceased.
With the Avro factory adjacent, many of the 4,500 aircraft built by
Avro during the war, including the legendary Lancaster heavy bomber
made their first flights from Yeadon. Civil flights resumed in 1947.
The newly formed Leeds Bradford Airport Joint Committee took control
of the Airport in 1959; improvements to facilities soon followed including
the installation of permanent airfield lighting. In the following
year, the first daily flights to London commenced and in 1965 a new
runway became operational. Unfortunately there was also a major fire
in the terminal building in 1965, so construction of a replacement
began later in the year, which was opened in February 1968.
Major construction work took place again in 1982 to substantially
improve the terminal facilities, extend the main runway by 2250 metres
and improve and divert a local road under the runway. Rapid growth
followed and by 1986 half a million passengers had passed through
the airport. Since then the terminal building has virtually doubled
in size, passenger figures rising to 1 million in 1996.
In 2001 just over 1.5 million passengers used the airport. In 2002
Leeds Bradford became the first airport to be awarded the Green Globe
Certificate for Environmental Management; a programme specifically
developed for the Travel & Tourism Industry. In July 2003 new
£5 million catering facilities were opened and June 2004 saw
the commissioning of brand new check-in facilities. With the annual
passenger figures for 2003 hitting the 2 million mark it is clear
that Leeds Bradford Airport continues to expand and develop.
Business Facilities
Servisair's Executive Lounge is situated on the first floor of the
Departure Lounge and was fully refurbished and re-opened in January
2004. Facilities include internet docking and work stations and the
entire area is covered by a WiFi network. Complimentary newspapers,
unlimited freshly brewed tea and coffee, a well stocked free bar,
toast making facilities and light snacks are all available together
with telephones, fax machine and laptop power points. Leeds Bradford
International Airport also provides a wireless internet facility,
'Wi-Fi', in the departure lounge allowing users to access the Internet
without the need for cables and without the hassle of changing settings
on their laptop or PDA.
For passengers requiring an overnight stop at Leeds Bradford there
are several suitable hotels situated nearby including the 3 star Chevin
Country Park Hotel, situated in 50 acres of private woodland yet only
2 miles from the airport and the Ramada Leeds Parkway Hotel on the
edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
