Caption: Reeves Backs Leeds Bradford Expansion Amid Aviation Changes. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced her support for expanding Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), citing advancements in sustainable aviation. As MP for Leeds West, Reeves previously opposed plans for a new terminal due to environmental concerns. Speaking in Yorkshire, she explained that the pandemic and improved technology have changed how we fly, making expansion more viable. Reeves highlighted the efficiency of modern engines and sustainable aviation fuel, which cuts carbon emissions by 70%. The £150m plan for a new terminal was abandoned in 2022 but Reeves now sees regeneration of the current terminal, as a step forward in balancing growth and sustainability.
