Does anyone know how the LBA will cope with all the extra flights in the summer. It looks like the temporary check-in area is not going to be complete for the start of the summer season and there is an estimated 1500 passengers expected to pass through departures within a couple of hours between 0500 and 0700 each day.

ie Thursday
0610 KLM AMS F100 Y99
0650 EZE ABZ J41 Y29
0655 EZE SOU J41 Y29
0700 BMI LHR A319 Y155
0700 BMI BRU EMB Y49
0700 MYT IBZ A320 Y180
0700 LS AMS B733 Y149
0700 LS NCE B733 Y149
0705 BMI GLA EMB Y49
0710 BMI EDI EMB Y49
0715 LS BFS B733 Y149
0715 BY FUE B767 Y280
0720 BMI CDG EMB Y49
0725 LS PRG B733 Y149

There are not enough check-in desks, security channels or gates to cope with this amount of traffic at Leeds??? I am all for expansion but come on Leeds get building!!!!!
