Leeds Bradford Airport flights diverted after 'water leak' as airport bosses issue apology
Some flights were diverted to Doncaster Sheffield Airport or to Birmingham, with many having to take taxis and coaches from these airports to get home. One flight from Las Palmas in Spain was supposed to land at Leeds Bradford but was forced to divert.
According to Leeds Bradford Airport, the water leak temporarily impacted UK Border Force operations which meant no flights could land. They also advise anyone who was affected to contact their airline for help.Leeds Bradford Airport said: "We apologise to any passengers affected by the disruption that impacted operations at LBA last night.
"A water leak in the terminal temporarily impacted UK Border Force operations. This led to some inbound flights being diverted. "A solution is now in place and flights are operating as normal. Passengers who were impacted, are advised to contact their airline."
