Schedule updates
Unite confirmed on 13 October 2026 that Leeds Bradford air traffic controllers' 16–18 October strike was suspended pending a ballot. A separate ballot for hourly paid staff remained unresolved, so airport-wide shutdown is not confirmed. Further controller action from 23 October to 2 November depends on rejection of the offer. No individual flight cancellation can be inferred.
