BA’s Leeds Bradford-Heathrow route is to shift operations to Terminal 5 at Heathrow, the carrier has announced.
The news comes via an official press release issued by British Airways last week, which said that the shift will give Yorkshire travellers a better opportunity to connect with long-haul routes to some 100 destinations from the Terminal 5.
The change will go into effect on 31 March, according to the release.
“British Airways decision to transfer Leeds Bradford services into T5 will help to transform the worldwide travel plans of Yorkshire's regional businesses and leisure travellers,” Tony Hallwood, managing director of the Yorkshire airport told the media.
He added, “With a wide choice of connecting destinations now on offer from Heathrow there has never been a better time to fly locally from Yorkshire’s gateway airport. Leeds Bradford’s new direct connection into Heathrow’s Terminal 5 will now offer a reduced transfer time of just 60 minutes and provide even quicker and easier access to British Airways' worldwide network.”
And Jim Keegan, BA’s regional customer service head, told reporters, “We often take the opportunity to change flight frequencies and timings at the season boundaries and we are delighted that we are able to move the Leeds Bradford flights to T5 next summer, just three months after the route launch. It means our Yorkshire customers can enjoy a quick and seamless journey through our dedicated terminal at Heathrow.”
