New ITV show to go behind the scenes at Leeds Bradford Airport

A brand new ITV show will go behind the scenes at Leeds Bradford Airport.

Six-part series Yorkshire Airport will showcase the amazing stories and characters at the heart of LBIA and give people the chance to see how things are kept running smoothly day-to-day.

The programme - filmed in the airport in summer 2018 - will show the life of staff as the international airport aspires to become of Britain's most successful regional airports.

Narrated by Hugh Dennis, viewers will get to access all areas as the airport , dozens of frantic passengers and a few technical hic-ups along the way.

Work has officially started on the expansion project, which will see a three-storey extension built at the Yeadon base.

As well as transforming the international arrivals facilities, there will be larger departure gates, seating areas and new shops, including more food and drink offerings for passengers.

Amid this transformation, the show will shine a light on behind-the-scenes staff, from baggage handles to maintenance workers, introducing the people passengers don't usually meet and the challenges they face on the job.

The first episode will be aired on ITV on Tuesday, July 16.
