People are 'not surprised' the airport has been found to have broken night-time flying rules
Leeds residents living on a flight path have said they're 'not surprised' to hear Leeds Bradford Airport broke night-time flying rules last summer.
"You can see the end of the runway from our back bedroom and it echoes right across the valley. It's a damn nuisance. There are families around here with young babies. They should be honouring their promises." Richard Jones lives near Horsforth train station, and also said he and his family struggle with the noise. "We live right on the flight path so it is really irritating," he told LeedsLive.
Roger Cartwright lives slightly further over on Hillcrest Rise, and agreed that when the windows are open over summer the planes are more noticeable. "They're flying over at 2.30am in the morning on a regular basis - but it has always been like that so it doesn't bother me," he said.
