en.Wedoany.com Reported - Farrans has delivered the first of seven sub-phases of Phase 2 at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), a comprehensive refurbishment of the existing terminal building. The delivered facility is a transformed departure area, connected to the Phase 1 terminal extension, aimed at enhancing the passenger experience.

Phase 2 is being progressed in multiple sub-phases to minimize disruption to operations and keep the airport running as normally as possible. The upgrade plan includes installing new stairs, lifts, and escalators to create a more open layout that harmonizes with the brighter terminal extension area. The reconfigured interior is designed to improve passenger flow, while featuring new security and arrivals facilities, world duty-free shops, and additional stores, bars, and restaurants.

This transformation project is expected to create 1,500 direct jobs and 4,000 indirect jobs at LBA by 2030, contributing £940 million to the local economy. The plan will also support the airport's decarbonization goals outlined in its 2030 net-zero carbon roadmap, through the installation of fully electric heating and lighting systems, as well as new equipment including baggage conveyors. Airlines attracted by the redevelopment are expected to accelerate the deployment of their newest, quietest, and most efficient aircraft at the airport, thereby reducing the overall environmental impact of operations.
