Well that sounds very positive from Bradford council, a few minor amendments here and there but generally supportive of the amendments to night flying. With the weight of Bradford Council surely Leeds City Council must take note of this, mind you this is Leeds we are talking about so anything...

Bet a number are not happy boinging on a bus back to Manchester because you car is parked there when you live 10 mins away from LBA. Should have saved themselves time and hassle of crossing the Pennines on the M62 when they could have booked to Zante from LBA. Too much leakage still to over...

Nice to see Jet2 diverting a MAN bound A321-251NX into LBA.

My four family members support submission were using the traditional method using the planning portal, all four got a confirmation email back from Leeds City Council but do not appear anywhere on the portal. Looking at the support numbers on the portal I also suspect, but can't confirm this...

There is definitely something not right with the scores on the doors. My family submitted 4 applications of support on Tuesday of this week yet non of their comments are appearing on the portal. I can't see Leeds City Council 'fudging' the numbers but something somewhere is not right. I now in...

Not even sure its a Yorkshire thing as DSA seem to have thousands voicing their approval of reopening the airport when ion reality they haven't got a cat in hells chance of that happening, and if it does open with a massive influx of council money will be shut within a few years. LBA on the...

To be honest didn't think she had any influence on anything other than where the next cycle route was going to run to and from. All wind and substance making all the right noises but nothing seems to get done.

Time for Jet2 to take half a dozen A220's into the fleet to replace the 733's on the quieter routes out of Leeds. Better to operate the A220, quieter and more fuel efficient on the routes the 733 are currently being utilised on.

Got my wife to add her support but took us over one hour to get it done. Registration was the hardest bit, Its a though they are trying to make it as hard as possible to for people to comment. I just wonder if you tick the button to support the application it goes into some sort of 'I'm not...

Yes short term huge cost, but we all hope the airport is still here in 50 years time. Spread this cost over say a 50 year timescale and cost the could be justifiable with the increase in passenger numbers. Again though the night time restriction are a major hurdle, something Leeds City Council...

An extra 300. metres would be helpful then we may get some airlines looking at LBA as new route announcements seem to be going to all the other airports in the UK bar LBA.

Submitted my support on the Leeds City Council portal. We need as many to give their support as White Heather has said as I notice currently there are more objection than those supporting the application. No doubt 'those who we shall not mention' are currently phoning everyone they know to...

M62 was closed from Monday of last week between 10pm and 6am every night until the end of September due to problems with the bridge over the motorway near to Scammonden Dam. Not good if you are on an early morning flight, another reason for using LBA unless on long haul and want to go non stop...

Had a nightmare journey on the M62 last Monday picking the family up from MAN off the Qatar Airways flight from Doha. Journey time 1hr 45 mins there from Leeds and over 2 hour coming back due to the weather once crossing the border into Lancashire, lashing it down with rain and then three...

The end of easyJet at LBA is near. Shame as it wasn't that long ago that we were all getting excited about a base.
