AN update has been provided on a £100 million project at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA).

In April, LBA officially marked the start of construction work on its new terminal regeneration with a ground-breaking ceremony.

The privately-funded development, known as LBA:REGEN, is set to transform the Yeadon-based airport's existing terminal building into a modern, efficient, and sustainable facility.

The regeneration aims to enhance passenger experience and support the region’s economic growth.

LBA:REGEN will deliver a 9,500 square metre, three-storey extension to the existing terminal, alongside a significant refurbishment of the current facilities.

Passengers will benefit from the creation of additional aircraft stands, more seating, faster security, new shops and eateries, a larger baggage reclaim area and immigration hall, and improved access for passengers with restricted mobility.

Work is underway on the terminal extension, with Farrans Construction delivering phase one of the project.

This phase includes the construction of a new UK Border Force immigration facility and international baggage reclaim hall, as well as expanded retail and international departure lounge facilities.

The airport took to social media to show customers that the steelworks are now up.

Images show workers in hard hats and high-vis jackets along with a crane at the site.

Completion of construction work is expected to be completed in 2026.
