United Leeds Endeavours, a direct marketing and sales firm in Leeds, have heard that
flights between Leeds Bradford Airport and Heathrow are to be restored.
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. United Leeds Endeavours feels that 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!”
