Getting a group to or from the airport is usually the most stressful part of any trip. Our airport transfers in Leeds bring everyone together in one vehicle with a professional driver, so luggage, headcounts and timings stay under control from the first pick-up to the terminal drop-off.
Leeds Bradford Airport is about 11 km from the city centre, and many groups also fly from Manchester Airport or Teesside International Airport. Whether you are moving eight colleagues or a full coach of travellers, we match the vehicle to your group and send you a tailored quote.

How Our Leeds Airport Transfers Work
Every transfer is a private hire for your group alone. You tell us where to collect, which airport you are using, your flight details and how many people and bags are travelling. We then plan the vehicle and schedule around that information rather than a fixed timetable.
Booking follows four simple steps: share your requirements, get a tailored quote, confirm and schedule, then relax and ride in comfort. You can also reach us on WhatsApp, which is handy when you want to send flight details or a passenger list quickly.
Transfers can be one-way or return, and we can arrange multiple pick-ups if your group is starting from different addresses. Because every trip is different, anything specific, such as collection times or extra stops, is confirmed as part of your quote.
Minibuses and Coaches for Airport Runs
Our fleet runs from 8 and 16 seater minibuses for smaller parties up to 49, 57 and 70 seater coaches for large groups. Midi coaches with 25, 29 and 33 seats suit mid-sized groups such as sports teams or business delegations, and a double decker is also available on request.
For airport work, luggage matters as much as seat count. Let us know roughly how many suitcases and any bulky items such as sports equipment, and we will recommend a vehicle size that fits both people and bags.
Use the table below to see which vehicle suits your group size. If your numbers sit between two options or you have a lot of luggage, tell us and we will advise when we prepare your quote.
| Vehicle | Seats |
|---|---|
| 8 seater minibus | 8 |
| 16 seater minibus | 16 |
| 25 seater midi coach | 25 |
| 29 seater coach | 29 |
| 33 seater coach | 33 |
| 49 seater coach | 49 |
| 57 seater coach | 57 |
| 70 seater coach | 70 |
| Double decker | Ask for details |
Airports and Rail Links Around Leeds
Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) is the closest, about 11 km in a straight line from central Leeds. It is the natural choice for many groups, and a private transfer avoids splitting the party across taxis or public transport.
Manchester Airport (MAN) lies about 70 km away and Teesside International Airport (MME) about 80 km away. For these longer airport transfers in Leeds, a coach or minibus keeps everyone and their luggage together for the whole journey, which is especially useful for early departures or late arrivals.
Leeds railway station is about 0.5 km from the city centre, with smaller stations such as Burley Park and Headingley nearby. If some of your group arrive by train, we can collect from the station and continue to the airport, or meet arriving flyers and take them on to their onward rail connection. Leeds City Bus & Coach Station is also close to the centre if that is a convenient meeting point.
Who Books Airport Transfers from Leeds
- Conference and event delegates: Bring visiting delegates from Leeds Bradford Airport to city-centre venues such as Horizon Leeds or New Dock Hall, then take them back for their flights afterwards.

- University groups: Collect international students or academic visitors arriving for institutions such as Leeds Beckett University or Leeds Arts University and take them straight to campus.
