Leeds residents living on a flight path have said they're 'not surprised' to hear Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) broke night-time flying rules last summer.
Leeds City Council announced on Tuesday (June 6) that following an investigation, it had determined there were 747 more night-time flights at LBA than it was allowed last summer. There were 3,667 night-time flights in summer 2022 - the cap on flights between 11pm and 7am is 2,920.
The council has served LBA with a breach of condition notice ordering it to stick to the limits that were agreed in 2007. For some residents living on flight paths in Cookridge and Horsforth, the news is very welcome.
