You'll find the above article comes from this. It's definitely worth watching even if not Leeds specific.

Very informative and actually very entertaining as well.

I get the impression that he's not a fan of his government. I wish he would come here and sort out LBA and its detractors.

Just something he mentioned at least 50 times.

I'd love to sit him in the same room as G***A and watch. LBA is apparently one of the few airports left that restricts aircraft by movements rather than by average noise levels.

Even better. As someone who sits on LCC planning committee.

West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for its largest trade mission to date as it prepares to take a raft of Yorkshire businesses to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
The Chamber will lead the delegation to Jeddah, Riyad and Bahrain between November 9 and 14 after the two countries were identified by Chamber members as markets they would like to explore trade opportunities with.
Leeds Bradford Airport has signed up as headline sponsor for the mission which will see firms involved in tech, education, professional services and manufacturing all travelling to the gulf state to explore new relationships with firms in the two countries.
The visit to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain follows on from previous successful missions to the United Arab Emirates and the United States, with more trade missions planned for 2026.
James Mason, chief executive of West & North Yorkshire Chamber, said: “At a time when the cost of doing business is so high, it is more important than ever to explore new avenues for doing business.
“We asked our members where they would like to see a trade mission arranged for and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain were a clear standout.
“We look forward to welcoming all of our delegates and are grateful to Leeds Bradford Airport for signing up as lead sponsor as it seeks to increase the number of routes it serves globally.”
Vincent Hodder, CEO, Leeds Bradford Airport, comments: “We’re right in the middle of an exciting transformational journey here at LBA, so we welcomed the opportunity to be involved in this unique mission with the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce to showcase everything that makes Yorkshire stand out to potential new markets.
“Our Vision 2030 strategy highlights our ambitions to secure more routes and destinations for our passengers, so we’re really looking forward to visiting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to discuss the work we’ve been doing to transform our airport and explore new opportunities.”

You'd have thought that sponsorship would include flights from LeedsBradford?

Who needs comedy films when you get an absolute gem like this. Talk about a slag festival. Haven't laughed so much in years
The guy is a genius
Brilliant watch he has so much common sense
Personal POV regarding LBA:
looks like airBlue have pulled the slots for whatever reason
easyJet chopping JAN BCN (understandable, mega off peak but frustrating)
Wizz looking uneasy regarding LBA & LPL ops
Aurigny not having LBA in the drop down on their website
Shows a lot of uncertainty with the airline industry at the moment and its not just LBA.
I think the bigger picture is the government and forward booking and confidence effecting all airports, very volatile.
However with all this CDC think its a good time to try to reopen DSA. Can not wrap my head around it.

And yet the other day lbaspotter reported that Ryanair we’re increasing the number of weekly flights and we’re swapping a 738 for a max. The type of thing that absolutely dwarfs the 800 passengers a month being carried by Aurigny. I don’t think its wrong to point out the fact that routes get chopped and changed but its important to paint the whole picture, don’t you think ?
Here's hoping U2 and FR launch some new routes from LBA for S26, new routes being something sadly lacking of late from LBA
