I was actually talking about dropping both names.
A lot more could be said that came from overseas visitors that I brought to the UK when I worked in Bradford for many years.
But, it has to be also said that going back years, it was Bradford council that supported the airport more than Leeds. At the time, the idiots on Leeds city council were talking about closing LBA and moving to Thorne Waste.
As I said, we all have our sentiments, but they do not mean anything to to the rest of the world.
LBA is now an International airport.
The people of Doncaster are proud of their town, but from a marketing point of view, Peel seem to have got it right.
