Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has initiated construction on a new terminal regeneration project named LBA:REGEN, with a budget of GBP 100 million (USD 125 million). This project aims to transform the current terminal into a modern and sustainable facility, improving the passenger experience and promoting regional economic growth. The expansion includes a three-storey, 9,500-square-meter extension and a comprehensive refurbishment of existing structures. Enhancements will feature additional aircraft stands, increased seating, expedited security processes, new retail and dining options, and expanded baggage and immigration areas. The development also addresses improved accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility.
Phase 1 of construction, managed by Farrans Construction, focuses on new UK Border Force facilities and expanded retail and departure lounge areas. The entire project is slated for completion in 2026.
Additionally, the project contributes to the airport’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by incorporating advanced energy-efficient systems and encouraging the use of quieter, more efficient aircraft. #1216.2
