The runway
HOODED
True, Bristol also has a 'relatively short runway', but it is clear that the Leeds perameters are a little on the marginal side because of the chevin. I don't doubt that the airport can have regular services across the pond and as the Leeds annual passenger figures continue to rise, this will make an atlantic service look more attractive.
It appears that there is something brewing behind the sceens, maybe the airport is on the verge of some sort of major development. The annual 'we're expanding again' sign looks like it isn't going to make an apperance this winter. Could it be that there is something bigger in the pipeline for next year, or are the resources all been put into marketing now?
