An extra 250,000 passengers are expected to flock to Leeds Bradford
Airport after it was
declared one of the fastest growing airports in the country. Low-cost airline Ryanair announced plans to
operate four new routes from the airport to increase its winter schedule.
Flights will operate to Gdansk, Fuerteventura, Dusseldorf and Barcelona
as its winter schedule is expanded from three routes last year to 13.
It is thought the additional routes will create up to 1,000 jobs and pump
millions of pounds into the local economy.
It was also announced that £2.5m will be pumped into schemes to improve access to
the airport as part of the planning permission for the new £28m terminal
investment.
