Leeds Bradford: Future Infrastructure Developments

[ls27]

I do hope that GALBA idiots and the people attending the Conference in Glasgow later this month, realise that the biggest change to the climate can be happening in the Canary Islands at the moment. Volcanoes erupting Mind you in their thinking they will blame this on climate change.

Folks. not sure if this has been mentioned, apologies if it has already. But an update has been uploaded on the airport website stating that, if the terminal is rejected by the Government, the airport will instead build the 2019 consented terminal extension: Link

A boss move that puts pressure on the government, and makes GALBA look a bit silly.

Yes it has, it was the main topic of discussion last week, but thanks anyway for the post. Totally agree too!!

Never mind. It's the thought that counts!!

Do we know how long LBA are prepared to tolerate this impasse before potentially deciding to commence terminal extension?

Just need to hijack Gove whilst he’s three sheets to the wind when he’s out clubbing and get him to sign on the dotted line.

Not much longer I suspect. Early 2022 would be my bet. If no decision by the year end, then I think it could be back to plan A with the 2019 extension.

The situation is an absolute nonsense. Beggars belief. Even the GALBA morons must be aware of this fact??!!!!!

What were the plans for the 2019 extension?

If you go to the LBA main forum page and click on New Terminal For Leeds Bradford Airport and you'll find everything there.

What were the plans for the 2019 extension?

Basically a new add on, of significant size, but entirely for arrivals with new baggage reclaim, double size carousels and new customs area. Then later, the transformation of the old arrivals area into part of departures in the old terminal building. It will be better, but never anywhere near green.

Here's a long shot given the jamboree about to start in Glasgow.

The government announces now that a nasty old dirty airport terminal poisoning the country is to be demolished and replaced with a more efficient carbon neutral terminal helping to save the planet creating many new construction jobs in the process as part of its leveling up lark getting brownie points all round.

I should be a government adviser really

I must admit i will be really dissapointed if LBA just gets a terminal extension to the existing non green building, it will serve no purpose at all, before long wont be able to cope with the extra millions of passengers and i cant see any new airlines wanting to start ops, thats my thoughts.

I very much hope you are right, and yes you should. But you will have lots of competition here on the LBA forum.

It will serve a purpose in that it will facilitate an additional 3m pax pa. Provided, the facilities both arrivals and departures are up to a high standard, I forsee no issues LBA attracting additional servicss.

But the airport will just keep its same old bad stigma, one stigma is that its known for bits stuck onto the old building!
The airport needs and has to have a completely new terminal to move forwards or else once again we will just be in the same position, ok yes we might attract more pax with current airlines using LBA adding additional flights but also providing we have apron space available. Im sorry but adding bits onto the existing terminal is not acceptable for yorkshires so called prem airport.

 

[rmac]

Fair enough but what is the alternative? If the new terminal is turned down, which would be crazy, what else is there to do?. Stage 2, after the new arrivals terminal would then be to rebuild the departures/check in area. Better than nothing but not ideal! Knocking down the existing one and rebuilding on the site is not really feasible. Moving to a new site is not possible, where to go?? On the other hand doing nothing is not an option. Other airports will continue to expand and take traffic from the West Yorkshire area. The only sensible plan is to build the new terminal.

Manchester Airport has had bits added to it on numerous occasions, since I first visited in 1965 and it has not stopped passengers using it.

The way things are going, I'm not likely to be around when the new terminal/extension is built.

It really is the biggest p*** take going, here we have a dream future eco new terminal planned that will benefit the west yorkshire region as well as cut emissions, and its just turning into a farce! Angry!
