Introducing Leeds Bradford: Yorkshire’s Airport

Leeds Bradford Airport is delighted to announce the official unveiling of its updated brand.

Following the appointment of a new Chief Executive, new ownership and a number of exciting changes to the terminal all now well underway, the airport has taken the decision to rebrand.

With an ambition to create an airport that matches the needs and requirements of the region it serves and the surrounding area, Leeds Bradford: Yorkshire’s Airport will now be displayed throughout the terminal. Five-year-old Toby Nye, the little boy who has captured the hearts of Yorkshire following his battle with neuroblastoma, did the honours to officially switch on the new signage emblazoned on the front of the terminal roof.

As part of the celebrations, the region’s largest airport also showcased the first part of its terminal redevelopments, including brand new purpose-built lounges. Featuring stunning floor to ceiling runway views, The Yorkshire Lounge, The White Rose Suite and 1432 Club will replace the current Yorkshire Premier Lounge.

Designed to offer a leisure, business or first-class experience, passengers have a number of entry methods, including pre-book, airline access, loyalty card schemes and on the day access. The Yorkshire Lounge is the perfect place for families to relax and enjoy refreshments pre-flight, while The White Rose Suite offers the ideal environment for business passengers and couples looking for some pre-flight relaxation, in a lounge that serves barista-style coffee and a fully-serviced bar.

The 1432 Club, named after the runway, is the most exclusive of the new lounges, featuring a specially selected menu, self-service premium bar and a prime view of the airfield.

The unveiling of the new lounges follows the opening of a brand new Cabin Bar and Beer House while the Saltaire restaurant has been completely overhauled. Works on a brand new Starbucks coffee shop and additional retails outlets are set to commence in the coming weeks.

Designed to provide a more straightforward journey for customers with a modern and vibrant feel, as well as developing our food and beverage offering, the airport has also invested in free non-commercial seating within the departure lounge. Work is also currently underway on the terminal front to improve passengers’ arrival at the airport, with a new Meet & Greet car-park facility

In March, the airport celebrated the opening of its first off-site car park. Viking Airport Parking, situated just off the airport roundabout located on Warren House Lane, ensures passengers have the smoothest possible start to their holiday. With members of staff on hand to park customers’ cars 24/7, shuttle buses transport passengers from the car park to the terminal in less than five minutes.

Chief Executive David Laws said: “We want the people of our thriving region to get behind their airport and help us move forward.

“We are delighted to offer our passengers even more choice in our departure lounge, as well as improved facilities for business travellers. We hope people will see this as the start of things to come for this airport. Our brand refresh embodies our vision to become Yorkshire’s airport of choice and to provide an airport our passengers can be proud of. As the development of LBA continues we hope to continually keep improving the customer experience and ensure our passengers feel welcome.

“We are investing in staff training to ensure we offer a warm ‘Yorkshire welcome’ to all of our passengers, as well as continually improving our Special Assistance offering to help passengers with reduced mobility and hidden disabilities.

“The more people use this airport the more successful we can be. Work continues to improve our route offering for both business and leisure services and we hope to have more exciting announcements in the near future.

“It was great to welcome Toby and his family to switch on our new sign and experience our exclusive lounges. We also look forward to welcoming them back in the near future for a VIP tour. Our Fire Team are especially excited to welcome Toby to the Fire Station, as we hear from a reliable source (his Mum) he is a lover of ‘Transformers’ and our new fire vehicles are the same as those used in the films!”

So that will take up a lot of capital thus potentially reducing investment in LBA. On the flip side, perhaps they could persuade Easyjet to set up camp at LBA as part of their ongoing deal with LTN.

or at the very least divert attention elsewhere and to a very much bigger fish. I wonder if AMP are just in the business of hoovering up UK regional airports, while they can and before somebody else does. They won`t be the first mind. As for Easyjet I think their focus will be in Germany for a few years to come.
 
There's your answer then...get Easyjet to do some German routes from LBA, such as Hamburg and Munich.
 
Is this a good or bad thing? It's a double edged sword. Having easyJet and Jet2 are your airports i suppose are a good thing. But Jet2 will not go near LTN however easy may come near LBA.

Also, imo, i feel that the attention could be diverted from LBA to LTN. I hope our CEO demands enough attention as we deserve and continues with his success so far in the small things he's changed.
 
Great to see that "Welcome to Yorkshire" have taken over the advertising space on one of the airport's Air Bridges at long last.

Famous Yorkshire welcome at Leeds Bradford Airport


Passengers flying into Yorkshire via Leeds Bradford Airport are getting the warmest and brightest of welcomes thanks to some brand-new artwork from Welcome to Yorkshire.

An airbridge has been fully decorated with multicoloured versions of the famous “Y” logo.

It’s been installed just in time to greet riders and visitors arriving into the county via the airport for the biggest and best Tour de Yorkshire ever which gets underway next week.

Following the appointment of a new Chief Executive, new ownership and a number of exciting changes to the terminal all now well underway, the airport has also recently taken the decision to rebrand.

It has an ambition to create an airport that matches the needs and requirements of the region it serves and become a gateway to thousands of visitors coming to explore Yorkshire.

Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire said:
”The colourful Y branded airbridge is a great sight for people to see when they first arrive here and typical of the warm Yorkshire welcome they’ll receive throughout their visit to our great county.

“This is the start of a great partnership with Leeds Bradford International airport as we look forward to supporting them in their exciting development plans.”

David Laws, Chief Executive at Leeds Bradford Airport said:
“Our aim is to create an airport the whole of Yorkshire can be proud of. We are delighted to partner with Welcome to Yorkshire and have their iconic brand on show to greet passengers arriving in the region.

“This is just the start of an exciting partnership between the region’s international gateway and the official destination management organisation.

“Welcome to Yorkshire work tirelessly to help promote and grow the region’s visitor economy and we want to work with them to ensure people can access this wonderful county from its local airport and help us both move forward.”

Based on that, the purchase of LBA would possibly have signalled a reduction in investment at Newcastle, or Melbourne, yet there is no evidence of such. Companies such as this don't abandon investment in their existing portfolio just because they have added to that portfolio. It has been stated already that they bought LBA with the intention of having it for the long term, investing in it, and developing it and I don't believe that buying LTN will make any difference to that at all. They are clearly intent on developing their portfolio of airports, so LTN probably will not be the last.

The biggest culprit for setting off fire alarms in public buildings is the use of aerosol sprays in the toilets. My old office building was regularly evacuated (over 2000 people) and almost always it was due to people using aerosols in the vicinity of smoke detectors. Other than that, it was often contractors who triggered the alarm whilst carrying out work in the building - although I assumed the contractors had left the building at LBA now?

Think they need to invest in a new alarm or stop doing toast :ROFLMAO:

Could be, but I think its the toasted crumpets..very civilised of an afternoon you know..just the job till somebody shouts unexpectedly on the radio, mind reengaged, whoosh..next thing you know the Fire brigade want to come in;):D:D
 
We have had an A300, A330, DC10, B747/2 and B747/3 over the years, not to mention Concorde, so size is not a problem. Funnily enough I popped round to Cemetery Road yesterday afternoon. The roads and dam car park were totally rammed with cars and there were hundreds of people hanging around as if something interesting was due. One lad turned up and said 'so when is Concorde landing then?' Oh yes, those were the days.

And to be fair a certain proportion of those craning their necks in anticipation, wouldn't have known the difference between Concorde and a C17 anyway
