There is a direct link by the 737 Bradford - Airport bus from the airport to Guiseley, and there is service 757 from Leeds - Airport which provides a service between the Airport and New Road side in Horsforth where further changes can be made with service(s) 31, 32 to connect with Horsforth Rail station on a Monday to Saturday daytime.
The airport has connections to the local road network and is signposted on a large number of routes in the region.
The airport is one of three in the UK (Birmingham Airport and London Luton Airport being the other two) that charge a parking fee for cars that are dropping off and picking up passengers momentarily at the terminal front. There is however free drop off and pick up parking provision available for up to an hour in long stay car parks with a free shuttle bus to the terminal front.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
