Our latest report shows that a third Heathrow runway could mean a new daily route to #Yorkshire, boosting connectivity, creating new opportunities for local businesses and helping attract more visitors to the region.

That's why Tracy Brabin (Mayor of West Yorkshire) and Vincent Hodder (CEO of @LBIAirport) are backing our proposal for expansion.

Speaking from Leeds Bradford Airport, CEO Vincent Hodder and Heathrow’s Nigel Milton explain why expanding the UK’s only hub airport matters for communities and businesses across the country.

For Yorkshire, that could mean a future direct connection between Leeds Bradford and Heathrow, opening access to destinations around the world for local passengers and businesses.

With Heathrow currently at capacity, regions across the UK are missing out on vital connectivity opportunities. Expansion could help change that - creating the capacity needed for new domestic links and better access to global markets for people across the UK.

✈️ Belfast International Airport, Cornwall Airport Newquay, Leeds Bradford Airport, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Teesside International Airport have been identified as the most likely to benefit from new or restored Heathrow connections to Heathrow, when additional airport capacity is delivered by a third runway.

New research from @FrontierEcon highlights the five UK airports as the strongest candidates for new domestic routes linked to Heathrow, the UK’s hub airport, based on clear evidence of underlying demand from passengers.

@HeathrowAirport is already operating at capacity. In 2025 almost 5 million passengers travelled across Heathrow’s domestic routes, supporting an estimated £1.2bn in gross tourism spend nationwide.

With capacity expanded, these five additional routes could unlock a further £335m each year.🔑
