as the title says, p/h have succeeded in their tendered bid to gain the control of the now privately owned Leeds and Bradford airport. A mighty balls up from the Hackney side of the trade in Leeds, another nail in the coffin for hackneys in Leeds due to the fact that the major think tanks for them are dinosaurs with no get up and go, infact for them it has got up and gone, THANKS LEEDS ATA FOR NOTHING, YOU PLANKS #-o #-o ](*,) ](*,)

You most probably are right, but from my limited experience of airport tenders, it's the ones that give the most money to the airport operator that succeed in getting the permit.

And in a fair fight, the PH trade will always undercut, or out-bid the taxi side. :-$

It looks like Leeds has gone the same way as every other airport outside London, The Firm who is gonna give the airport the biggest bucks is in, regardless of whether they are PH/HC or green motorised hover craft.

The lads from Leeds who got the wooden spoon should start to get organised for the next time the tender comes round.

My tender for the job using my fleet of green motorised hover craft didn't win then.
