Airport capacity on route soaring

Eastern Airways has almost doubled seat capacity on its busy Leeds Bradford – Southampton route by introducing larger aircraft and increasing frequency, giving Yorkshire business travellers a greater choice. Tony Hallwood, Leeds Bradford Airport’s aviation development director, said: “We welcome the introduction of additional Eastern Airways capacity on the Southampton route to meet demand from regional businesses. “With a flight of around an hour compared to over a four hour rail or road journey, there is no better way to travel to that all important meeting.”
