Plans for a new terminal at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) "make economic sense" and are necessary to stop the airport slipping further behind others in the UK, a campaign group said.

The LBA Support Group claim the Yeadon airport and the aviation industry more generally are being "unfairly targeted" by opponents of the plans.

LBA want to build a new "state of the art" £150m terminal which would include three main floors with improved vehicle access.
