A number of opportunities for new shops and food and drink retailers will be created by a major expansion of Leeds Bradford International Airport.
The £11m development will grow the size of the departure lounge by 50%, create a larger premier lounge and security zone, and add a new covered walkway between the terminal and the aircraft stands.
Work has already begun and will be completed by next summer. The departure lounge development will be finished in May.
Chief executive John Parkin said: “It marks an important milestone in the development of Yorkshire’s airport and our desire to provide the very best facilities for our rapidly growing numbers of customers and airlines.
“The broad economic conditions are challenging, but we are the UK’s fastest growing regional airport and with the strong support of our shareholders, Bridgepoint, we are confident now is the time to invest in our future.
“The investment and developments we are announcing today demonstrate our determination to succeed, to continue to grow and to provide the region with the airport it wants and deserves.”
Bridgepoint has now invested more than £20m in the airport since buying the facility in 2007.
