Fuming Leeds Bradford Airport passenger demands change as hundreds left queuing round car park

A passenger at Leeds Bradford Aiport has fumed "something has to change" as people were forced to wait in huge queues outside the terminal on Thursday.

Pictures taken from inside the airport at 4.45am this morning show holidaymakers waiting in the car park outside the airport in Yeadon. Huge, snaking queues have been an almost permanent fixture at the terminal over the past months and several flights were delayed at Leeds Bradford Airport today.

Taking to Twitter, @iangordon1959 said: "Queues not getting any better; 4.45am this morning. Goodness knows how long it will take to clear."

@iangordon1959 explained he had been able to get inside the airport within 15 minutes as he had paid for the fast track option. He continued: "Still only three out of four security belts open. Too many flights and not (sic) physical capacity or personnel to cope."

When approached by Leeds Live, the disgruntled passenger said "something has to change." Several departing flights have been delayed at the airport this morning.
