About Leeds Bradford Airport
Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), Yorkshire’s largest airport, is situated in Yeadon, West Yorkshire, just seven miles from Leeds city centre. With a continuous increase in passenger numbers, LBA aims to provide a superior travel experience while prioritising passenger safety. The airport has made significant investments in both personnel and technology to achieve these goals.
Solution
To enhance safety, efficiency and productivity in their complex day-to-day operations, Leeds Bradford Airport chose to upgrade its existing two-way radio system to Storm’s cutting-edge push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC) solution. This innovative technology allows for instant communication between
individuals and groups across the entire airport. Additionally, Storm’s dispatch console serves as a centralised command and control centre, facilitating the management of airport employees. The console enables location monitoring, employee tracking, and SOS emergency alerts, ensuring the well-being of staff members. By adopting Storm’s PTToC platform, LBA became one of the pioneering airports in Europe to transition from traditional two-way radios to this advanced cellular-based communication system.

With Storm’s world-leading technologies, LBA is successfully managing its operations and achieving its business objectives. Damian Ives, the Chief Operating Officer at LBA, expressed his satisfaction, stating:
