We have spent time and money to ensure that we can offer the finest facilities to operators and customers travelling to the North of England. The newly approved RNP Instrument approach system means that we offer the highest flight safety standards combined with brand new, state-of-the-art FBO facilities. We look forward to offering a warm welcome to operators and passengers arriving and departing from Leeds East Airport.”
