It may have escaped your attention but the title of this thread is called 'Leeds Expansion' and not 'let''s throw childish little digs at LBA & Leodis'
Please give it a rest. It's very boring and very childish.
It is great to see a regional airport doing so well. The rapid expansion may have outstripped some of the facilities but it takes a lot longer to build a new terminal, stands etc than to introduce a new flight. It also depends on the reliability and strength of these new routes. There is no point building a £X million terminal and stands if the routes and airlines don't work. Wait a couple of years, see if they establish and grow, then act on the plans.
A similar thing is happening at MME. Peel Holdings have great plans for a new terminal and stands etc but they are waiting to see how bmi baby and Ryanair fair before cutting the turf.
