What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: BBC.
Hank LedgerMore strikes have been announced at Leeds Bradford Airport, and they land right on the half-term break. Lola Cruz is outside the terminal this morning.
Lola CruzI'm standing outside the departures entrance at Leeds Bradford, and behind me families are dragging suitcases past a very quiet check-in hall.
Lola CruzFurther strikes are now planned over half-term, the busiest week for families flying out.
Lola CruzJust a few minutes ago I caught up with a traveler who says he booked his trip in the spring and has not stopped smiling since the news broke.
Desmond AchterbergI'm Desmond Achterberg, and I've packed four weeks of sandwiches already.
Desmond AchterbergIf we can't fly, we'll just sit in the car and look at the planes. It's cheaper, and the kids love a queue.
Lola CruzSir, that is a car park.
Desmond AchterbergWith a view, Lola. With a view.
Hank LedgerDo we know if he's already unpacked the sandwiches?
Lola CruzHank, he's eaten two weeks of them, and he says the flight can wait.
