Orbx Announces Leeds Bradford (EGNM)

Orbx has announced that Northern English town Leeds is the second to receive a fully PBR airport, following the release of London City Airport in July.

Once again it was CEO John Venema to announce the news via his brand's forum, in a post made an hour ago.

"Welcome to Yorkshire's Airport" he exclaims, making a point of their long overdue Midlands visit. This is the second airport made by Orbx's in-house UK development team, which specialises in the use of PBR materials throughout their airports.

The airport serves the towns of Leeds and Bradford, which are both located less than ten miles away. The wider region Yorkshire also uses Yeadon Field as a home airport for commerical flying, with over four million passengers passing the gates in 2018.
