Leeds Bradford Airport enjoys record month
23.09.08
Leeds Bradford Airport saw a record 345,000 passengers pass through its terminal during August – the highest the airport has ever experienced in a single month, and five percent up on last year.
The number of passengers using Leeds Bradford during the summer months has also shown significant growth, with a total of 1,277,752 passengers passing through the airport from May to August, making the airport one of the fastest growing airports in the UK. Both Jet2's double daily Malaga flight and Ryanair's Dublin service carried over 20,000 passengers and had the strongest demand.
Tony Hallwood, commercial and aviation director, said: ‘Leeds Bradford International Airport continues to outperform the market and takes its lead from the strength of the Yorkshire Economy. With our route network now at 76 destinations and still growing, the airport is delivering to both business and leisure passengers and increasing inbound tourism opportunities.'
Mr Hallwood said efforts would be made in the coming months to attract more inbound passengers that would benefit the local economy and create jobs.
