Construction News: How Farrans is doubling the size of Leeds Bradford Airport while it remains operational
We were delighted to welcome Construction News to our Leeds Bradford Airport project recently and now they have published their long read feature entitled: “How Farrans is doubling the size of Leeds Bradford Airport while it remains operational”.
We are on site on the refurbishment of the existing terminal (Phase 2) of LBA: REGEN and it is expected to complete in Winter 2026, setting up an exciting period of development for the airport.
Last year Farrans completed Phase 1 of the project which involved the construction of the 9,500m2, three-storey terminal extension which opened in June 2025. Passengers now benefit from more seating, faster security, new shops and eateries, and a larger baggage reclaim area and immigration hall, as well as improved access for passengers with restricted mobility.
In Phase 2, we are undertaking a full refurbishment of the existing terminal. Works are being delivered in multiple sub-phases to minimise disruption to customers and allow the airport to operate as close to normal as possible. Improvements include the creation of new staircases, lifts and escalators to provide an open plan feel which will complement the new lighter and brighter terminal extension. Remodelled internal spaces will allow improved passenger movement and there will be brand new security and arrivals facilities, World Duty Free and shops, bars and restaurants.
