Row over noisy 'illegal' flights as residents claim Leeds Bradford planes break rules

A group of residents in Leeds say they are extremely concerned about noisy and potentially illegal flights landing at Leeds Bradford Airport this summer.

A row has since erupted involving Leeds Bradford Airport, Leeds City Council and The Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport (GALBA) over the matter. GALBA say they tracked airport activity last summer and found that it breached rules.

The group say they reported the matter to Leeds City Council in a formal complaint and say they are worried that as summer approaches, more rule breaking flights may land in the area. Leeds Bradford Airport has a cap on night time flights as part of its planning conditions.
