Before the show broadcast, Hywel Rees, chief executive of Leeds Bradford Airport, said: “A year ago, Leeds Bradford Airport took part in the ITV documentary to highlight its great ambitions, warm characters and big personalities.

"The documentary demonstrates the day to day operation of the airport, our staff’s problem solving skills and professionalism under pressure, as well as the good humour of passengers and staff.

"We value our role as a crucial gateway to and from the North and the programme showcases the breadth of international destinations accessible from the airport.

"We hope everyone enjoys seeing Yorkshire’s airport on the small screen.”
