Leeds Bradford Airport departures today: Significant changes spotted after 'chaotic' scenes as passengers zip through security 'in 8 minutes'

Passengers getting on flights from Leeds Bradford Airport today report a significant change from the "chaos" which has prevailed since April.

One passenger getting on an early morning flight from the airport said they got through security in eight minutes, while another added staff were "very helpful". For weeks, "shambles" and snaking long queues have been seen trailing through the airport, leaving passengers waiting outside, predominantly for morning flights departing between 6am-9am.

The ongoing issues brought on by staff shortages saw a sea of people, push chairs, and luggage over taking the pavement outside of LBA. On Friday flights departing between 6.05am and 8.35am were pushed back.
