Take the train like the rest of us
In a decision that makes sense, Leeds/Bradford airport is to be left without any flights going to London. Flying short-haul is the single most damaging thing an individual can to in terms of your carbon footprint so this move has been a long time coming.
Flybe blame the cancellation of their service to London on increasing landing fees at Gatwick but surely this service along with all other domestic flight services in the country should be cancelled.
50,000 passengers flew from Leeds/Bradford airport to Gatwick last year, the big majority of those people being the very rich who can afford it. Most of us take take the train round the country. The train from Leeds to London KX takes just over 2 hours and is 10 times less polluting than flying. Trains not planes!
