Leeds Bradford Airport is past its sell-by date - YEP letters

Keith Massey, York
What was acceptable post-war and the expansion of air travel from the 1960s is not relevant today.
The airport facilities are virtually third world and a disgrace that it represents two major Northern cities when we are endeavouring to promote the Northern Powerhouse structure for serious future government investment.

Hide AdI decided several years ago to exclude LBA from any of my holidays or business travel after some of the worst landings in my life.
My wife was a nervous passenger and I would spend most of the holiday anxiously worrying about the landing conditions regarding high winds – and serious crosswinds – that affect this airfield.
The airfield is in the wrong place and far too high – and not a penny more should be spent on it. For holidays (though you are restricted) I prefer Doncaster, which is low down, with a superb, long, flat runway, modern terminal and extensive car park facilities and excellent accessibility by motorways, railway and bus connections.
This is the airfield that should represent Yorkshire looking to the future.
