Rename our new-look airport after Marcelo Bielsa – Yorkshire Post Letters

CAN I convey a positive tone regarding the future of Leeds Bradford Airport (after Covid 19)?

1. New improved terminal building with covered walkways – tick.

2. Larger parking areas – tick.

3. Rail station with rapid transfer to closer terminal – tick.

4. Increase in flights with more destinations – tick.

5. More efficient quieter aircraft in future – tick.

6. More jobs and secure future for staff – tick.

7. Fewer passengers going to Manchester/East Midlands – tick.

8. New terminal funded by private investment – tick.

Let’s hope we have a new inspiring name; may I suggest The White Rose or even the Marcelo Bielsa Airport?

IF we do not invest in Leeds Bradford Airport, which some have described as a glorified airfield, it will suggest this is a region lacking ambition.

Is that the message that we want to convey to the rest of the country – and wider world?

Better to make sure this can 
be the UK’s greenest airport – and then grant planning permission.
