Now however, attention is turning to the existing offer, In a bid to improve passenger experience and speed up check-in process, something Leeds Bradford has faced criticism for, the airport is optimising space.

Construction will reconfigure check-in ‘Hall A’ which currently welcomes all passengers not using resident airline Jet2, BusinessLive reports. The work, underway now, will see the installation of 14 self-service kiosks and hybrid self-service automated bag drops, as well as four self-service check-in e-gates, all produced by self-service technology experts Elenium. A total of 14 traditional staffed check-in desks will also be installed, and the hall will be extensively refurbished.
