Councillor welcomes Airport jobs boost

March 21, 2006 12:00 AM

News that low cost airline Jet2 is to create 150 jobs at Leeds Bradford Airport has been welcomed by Otley & Yeadon Councillor Ryk Downes. The jobs will be created as Bournemouth based Jet2 establishes a new head office at the airport.

Councillor Ryk Downes (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon) said "I'm delighted by this latest announcement from Jet2. The potential for employment opportunities for the surrounding communities, including my own ward (Otley & Yeadon) will be one of the main benefits of the move. By establishing a head office here in Leeds Jet2 are also illustrating their continued commitment to Leeds Bradford Airport and the region in general."

The views in this Press Release are those of the Liberal Democrat Council Group, and not necessarily those of Leeds City Council, its Officers or of the Liberal Democrat Party.
