It is a direct correlation of demand - only people within the enclosed Leeds city region are using LBA- the other critical 2.5 million people are staying on the motorway and train to an airport that is not fog bound or suffering 50mph crosswinds. A suitable airport in a suitable place and well connected just like MAN ie lets battle on a level playing field. I think you just know it will hurt MAN more than Yeadon will ever be able to.
It should happen but southern and north western politicians will make it not happen just like they did with the trams.
