The council is seeking views on three options to improve access to the airport, which is one of the fastest growing in the UK and used by 3.3million passengers a year. It also contributes more than £100m annually to the city region economy.
Leeds City Council’s executive member for regeneration, transport and planning councillor Richard Lewis said: “The response to the start of the consultation has been very encouraging which is why we have extended it to run for a further month and also arranged more drop-in sessions in January.
