Passengers flying out of Leeds Bradford Airport today (October 23) are once again being urged to check their flights, with a number of departures and arrivals cancelled.
It follows a dramatic incident that happened as Storm Babet reached its height last week, with a TUI plane arriving from Corfu skidding off the Tarmac and coming to a sudden halt on nearby grass. While nobody was injured, the bumpy landing preceded the closure of the entire airport. Wind and rain continued to batter the region over the weekend and departure boards confirmed that all flights departing from Leeds Bradford remain cancelled for the first half of Saturday .
Then, just hours after it reopened, the airport had to be evacuated after a suspicious package was reported - which later turned out to be lost luggage. It was reported that the package was left outside the building and the emergency services were called while the building was cleared shortly after 7.30pm.
