A limit on the number of night-time flights allowed at Leeds Bradford Airport was breached last year, an investigation has found.
Leeds City Council said there were 3,497 night flights during the 2023 summer season, 577 more than was permitted. But the airport will not face further action from the council over the breach, a decision criticised by campaigners who made complaints over alleged rule-breaking. The airport was given a requirement to operate no more than 2,920 night flights during summer seasons.
The council has agreed with us that LBA broke the rules 577 times last summer but they’re not going to do anything about it. “Every extra night flight means more harm to people’s health and more pollution, damaging our climate and the air we breathe.” The council said it had also refused two applications from the airport in Yeadon that would exclude some flights from counting towards night movements.
