more seriously than done a lot of work on the value to the region. If it’s accurate it’s sensible to reopen and even better if it turns out that another operator can do a better job.
LBA is indeed in a stupid place, but it is at least close to Leeds and Bradford. Google tells me Finningley is over 40 miles from Leeds, so I can't see how DSA could replace Yeadon.
Does South Yorkshire or the East Midlands need another airport? The performance of DSA ver. 1.0 suggests not.
