Disgruntled residents under Leeds Bradford Airport flight path hit out at noisy night flights keeping them awake

A Leeds couple who complained about flights getting "nosier and earlier", and more frequent, from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) have have been backed by a formal complaint with more residents under the flight path raising their concerns.

Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport (GALBA) has sent a formal complaint to Leeds City Council about the number of night flights from LBA during summer 2022. It claims the airport exceeded the number of flights it is allowed to operate at night by over 600 and they have asked Leeds City Council to investigate potential rule breaking.

Married couple Steve and Jane Haworth, 69 and 65 respectively, based in Cookridge on a street just off Tinshill Road, complained to Leeds Live about an increased frequency of flights in September.
