At Leeds Bradford Airport we help millions of passengers reach a wide range of international destinations every year.
We want to inspire our community and that’s why we aspire to be the first choice airport for our customers, providing excellent connectivity and positive customer experiences.
At Leeds Bradford we are well placed to serve our thriving region, with competitive airlines offering great routes and prices worth travelling for.
Since opening on the site in 1931, Yeadon Aerodrome still sits only 7 miles from Leeds centre and 9 miles from the centre of Bradford. Well known amongst locals, the spot holds the title as England’s highest airport with an elevation pf 681 ft.
Here’s a bit about how we took off:
In recent years, airport passengers have grown significantly from 1.2 million a year in 1997 to 2.9 million in 2007. Now welcoming over 4 million passengers a year, the airport plans to welcome 7 million a year by 2030.
AMP Capital acquired Leeds Bradford Airport in 2017, bringing expertise and a successful track record of investing in airports globally within its infrastructure portfolio, to Yorkshire. Since then, the airport terminal has undergone significant improvement.
As a regional airport our success is one we share with the Yorkshire region. We strategically plan our growth and development with the local economy, environment and stakeholders in mind.
To help achieve our ambitions, we have produced our ‘Route to 2030 Strategic Development Plan’ - which will see annual passenger numbers increase from four million to seven million by 2030. It’s an investment in the future of Leeds Bradford Airport and sits alongside our Surface Access Strategy.
The responsibility of serving our region and local communities sustainably is a long term commitment at the heart of our planning. We have a commitment to protecting the environment, investing in our community and consulting on our future plans. A formal link to our neighbouring communities is hosted at the Leeds Bradford Airport Consultative Committee Meeting (ACC) held quarterly.
