The council is seeking views on three options to improve access to the airport, which is one of the fastest growing in the UK and used by 3.3million passengers a year. It also contributes more than £100m annually to the city region economy.

Leeds City Council’s executive member for regeneration, transport and planning councillor Richard Lewis said: “The response to the start of the consultation has been very encouraging which is why we have extended it to run for a further month and also arranged more drop-in sessions in January.

Leeds Bradford Airport is a key part of our current and future city and regional economy, so it is essential we hear the views of as many people as possible before making decisions around improving access and tackling local congestion problems.”
