Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has unveiled its Vision 2030 strategy, supported by £200 million in private investment, aiming to create up to 5,500 jobs and contribute nearly £1 billion to the regional economy. The strategy includes increasing terminal floorspace by 38% and adding 10 new aircraft stands to facilitate the anticipated growth to seven million passengers annually by 2030. LBA plans to enhance international connectivity with new routes to North American cities like New York and destinations in the Middle East. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the potential increase in greenhouse gas emissions, although the airport's CEO, Vincent Hodder, insists the aviation industry is committed to net-zero carbon by 2050. The plans also focus on sustainability, aiming to decarbonize transport links and invest in solar-powered infrastructure. Additionally, LBA supports West Yorkshire's proposals for a mass transit system to improve connectivity.
