Airport Launches Twitter Departure Board

Leeds Bradford Airport has launched an application which shares live flight data via Twitter, communicating arrival and departure information directly to the end user.

To access the feature, travellers need to follow @LBIAirport, where they will be followed back. Then, passengers simply direct message @LBIAirport their flight information to receive updates directly to their device as they appear on the airport’s departure boards. The feature can also be used by those collecting arriving passengers, and users can receive notifications as soon as their gate opens.

Leeds Bradford is one of the fastest growing airports in the UK.
