People can drop off passengers outside the terminal at a price of £1 for ten minutes and also they can have medium stay car park for one hour for free and catch a 5 mins shuttle bus to the terminal building.

A high speed rail service between London to Leeds will reduce air travel from West Yorkshire’s regional airport. Transport secretary eagerly support these super-fast trains connecting London to the north as it will replace the need for domestic flights.
The transport secretary also plans to start 250mph trains connected right through to the channel tunnel which will result in less use of flights from Leeds Bradford Airport to places like Amsterdam.
Some say replacement of domestic flights with rail service will have transformational affect on the economy. However bosses at Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBIA) deny this – predicting that use of domestic flights will increase, even when high speed rail is up and running, as it depends on public choice what travel method to use and the public like flying.
