LBA plans to add US services

Article Date : Tuesday, May 06, 2008

Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBA) has outlined its intention to expand into the American market.

Tony Hallwood, commercial and aviation development director at LBA, said passenger numbers have been boosted considerably in recent years by the launch of new flights to Europe.

However, he stated that he wants to encourage further growth at the Yorkshire-based facility by tapping into other markets, including the US.

Mr Hallwood said such a move would mean that consumers who live within LBA's sphere of influence would be able to travel to the US directly.

He commented: "There is now less need for people to trawl down to London to connect to flights worldwide."

Mr Hallwood added that adding flights between Leeds and New York is one of LBA's main priorities, as this will open up a "range of new linkages" across North America.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, regional airports handled 42 per cent of air passengers in the UK last year.
