United Leeds Endeavours Pleased By Flight Links Between Leeds and London

May 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Following the takeover of BMI aircraft and landing slots by British Airways plans are in motion to restore direct flights between Leeds Bradford Airport and the capital. The Harrogate Chamber of Trade and Commerce have been lobbying for a restoration of the scheduled service between Leeds Bradford Airport and Heathrow ever since BMI withdrew the service in 2009. United Leeds Endeavours feels that the links between London and Leeds Bradford Airport are extremely important to businesses in Yorkshire as they need to be able to travel between to London for meetings or office visits. Although there is a good train service from Leeds to London the flight time of under an hour is preferable.

From Kings Cross Station, where East Coast trains from Bradford and Leeds arrive, connections to Heathrow from Central London can often take up to an hour. This means that many people wishing to catch an international flight will find it much easier if they can fly directly to Heathrow and then just catch another plane abroad. This could also help encourage foreign visitors and investors to visit more tourist attractions and businesses across Yorkshire. The restored flights will also be useful for the local population of the area serviced by Leeds Bradford Airport.

A manager at United Leeds Endeavours commented, “The restoration of direct Leeds Bradford to Heathrow flights can only be beneficial to the business community in Yorkshire as people will be able to travel to the financial capital more quickly and efficiently. We can only hope that other smaller airports across the country also gain this great business advantage!”
