Talk:Leeds Bradford Airport

message: Does "Nearest railway station is Horsforth, some 10 minutes away by taxi. Trains run every half an hour from Leeds" count as a rail conection to the airport? The way it's phrased suggests an in airport or walking distance station? Nate1481 12:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say not. There is no indication at the airport of the presence of the station, and it is definitely too far to walk with heavy bags! The locally advertised public transport links are for bus connections to Leeds (the main point for connection to the rail network), Bradford and Harrogate. 77.97.137.23 21:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: wardair did a proving flight from leeds bradford on that day,4th Nov 84.
This 747 service actually got going the following May 85. I believe there was a stop on route at Birmingham international Airport so it was not a non stop flight/route.
Btitania Airlines had been using a 767 from around 83/84 but was limited to load restrictions due to lenght of runway.
The new runway extention had yet to be completed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.218.161 (talk) 01:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Regarding Shaheen Air, if you are disuting text, pehaps you ought to check the citation you are using, it confirms what was written before.  As the citation confirms the service will be SUSPENDED and not WITHDRAWN INDEFINATELY.  For your interest this is due to an unforseen shortage of aircraft.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.27.125 (talk) 17:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Changed the text to "temporarily cease" per the cited reference. The fact it may be due to an aircraft shortage is not really encyclopedic, and even if it were the reference does not state that. SempreVolando (talk) 18:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Shaheen Air flight to Islamabad

message: Just noticed that there was a "General Aviation" section before that was reverted out because it looked like advertising. Is it worth some kind of mention of the south-side developments? As the airport is used for more than just scheduled flights (e.g. Air ambulance, private flying, flight training and servicing facilities)
Just a thought!

message: Suggest that the airport serves West and North Yorkshire, not just Leeds/Bradford. LBA is a regional airport, not a City one.
Given how contentious such a change can be, I'd appreciate views first. --Rcalvert (talk) 21:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyedit

message: If LBIA management wish to delete or amend the statement regarding the drop-off charge, they should provide the evidence here that it is "common at other UK airports and worldwide". Reports on the web suggest otherwise. Simply deleting a statement without good reason or evidence is impolite and does not lead to establishing the truth. PJO'M (talk) 16:17, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry it is just not notable or that important, the addition has been challenged so you really need to gain a consensus on this page for it be added. MilborneOne (talk) 16:58, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Something in the local paper for a few days is still not notable, are you really saying that in the eighty year history of the airport the fact that it charges people a couple of quid to drive on to its property is really that important. Re your comment that contributers do not need consensus to add an original statement is not true you do need the consensus of other editors, it does work like that. Sorry, but your addition was challenged and it is now up to you to get a consensus to add it. Please do not duplicate this section, leave it where it is so others can comment, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 17:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Sorry to confuse, the term Editor as I used it implies all that contribute, wikipedia treats all "users" the same. MilborneOne (talk) 19:05, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that the airport operator treats the area at the front of the terminal a "Terminal Front Drop Off and Pick Up Car Park" so it charges users to use it. Customers have many other ways to get to the airport, public transport or use the long term car park or just pay the £2.00 which is not exactly a huge amount. I can see it might anoy some people but hardly controversial or notable in the big scheme of things. I leave it for others to comment but you still need a consensus here to add it.

message: Just a minor thing, but according to the wiki article on that aircraft (the 500 variant), it has/had a max capacity of 319 but would normally fly with about 250 on board. So how could there have been 398 on this particular flight?
Just a simple number error, maybe should be 198? 86.138.138.195 (talk) 15:21, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

message: I propose to merge Leeds_Bradford_Airport_Parkway_railway_station into this article. I feel that it is a simple enough topic to require a sub-section in this article rather than a standalone article. Much of the information in the railway station article isn't in this article, and it would make more sense in context.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:87FF:9B00:495B:2BF8:B8C1:59B4 (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
