Leeds Bradford Airport has released a video and new CGI visuals of its transformative £100 million terminal expansion.

The major redevelopment, set to be completed in time for the summer 2025 holidays, is designed to "elevate passenger experience" whilst reinforcing the airport’s commitment to "sustainability and regional economic growth."

The latest video brings to life what passengers can expect when they visit the new terminal.

Watch it below:

The new departure lounge, designed for optimal passenger comfort, will feature enhanced seating areas and an improved retail and dining offering.

Meanwhile, a striking exterior view highlights the terminal’s contemporary design, showcasing LBA’s vision for a state-of-the-art, efficient, and environmentally-friendly airport.

The visuals also show the new baggage reclaim area designed to streamline the arrivals process for travellers, plus the upgraded passport control area, which will incorporate cutting-edge security technology, ensuring a smoother and more secure journey for all passengers.

Once complete, the new terminal extension will complement the existing facilities, providing a seamless gateway to over 80 destinations worldwide.

John Cunliffe, Commercial Director at Leeds Bradford Airport said:

“We’re excited to share the new video and visuals that offer passengers a preview of what’s to come at the airport.

“Our transformative terminal expansion is not only about creating a modern, comfortable airport experience for travellers but also about building a sustainable future for travel in the region.

“With construction progressing on schedule, we look forward to welcoming passengers to our upgraded facilities this summer.”

The first phase of the regeneration project is scheduled for completion in summer 2025, at which point guests will be welcomed into the new terminal extension.

Following this milestone, attention will shift to phase two of the project, which focuses on redeveloping the existing terminal to further enhance the airport’s overall infrastructure.
