The peak summer season has had a roaring start at Leeds Bradford International Airport with total passenger numbers up 37% (215,001) for the month of July versus the same month last year.
As the schools broke up, the families of Yorkshire packed their suitcases with 77,168 charter passengers using LBA for the month of July, showing a healthy increase of 13%.
It was also the highest month recorded for scheduled services with 137,355 passengers, an increase of 55%. Jet2, Yorkshire’s own low cost airline, accounted for 48,143 of those passengers. Belfast saw a significant increase of 57% (13,028) with our Scottish neighbours also proving popular with a 12% (3,891) increase to Glasgow and 3% (4,468) on our Edinburgh services. Eastern Airways, who took over the BA routes of Isle of Man, Aberdeen and Southampton, are delighted with the success they are experiencing with all routes in a plus position.
