Going to other more accessible fit for purpose airports which is what I've been banging on about for the last 20 posts! Not that population of an area equates to airport passenger numbers anyway or there'd be 22 million people living in Manchester. What population shows is the potential of an airport IF its placed in the right location and IF it is easily and quickly accessible and IF it has good airfield characteristics. Which one of those does Yeadon have? That is why the figure is a paltry 3.3 million. Hence my wish for church fenton developing to properly serve the people of Yorkshire.
