Leeds Bradford Airport is asking for permission to keep running a temporary check-in and arrival lounge for a further three years.

Temporary planning permission for check-in hall B, which is operated by Jet 2, was granted in 2008 but will run out on December 18, 2013.

The airport is asking to have the permission extended until December 18, 2016, to allow a permanent solution to be pursued when work begins on the next – delayed – phase of its terminal.
