Holidaymakers were ordered to leave Leeds Bradford Airport after fire alarms went off and staff have been praised for clearing queues “efficiently” this morning (Monday).
In a video sent to LeedsLive, it shows crowds of people gathered inside the airport as they had to be evacuated at around 4am after fire alarms went off. One person who was travelling said “it was awful for some people” as they had to wait in the rain.
However, it hasn’t been all complaints about the airport today as people have praised staff who cleared queues caused by early arriving passengers. It comes after bosses urged people not to arrive at the airport earlier than three hours before departure as they are anticipating longer queue times at security.
