Leeds East Airport Opens Brand New FBO Equipped With RNP Instrument Approach

Leeds East Airport (EGCM) is opening a brand new FBO including a state-of-the-art VIP lounge and facilities more than equal to any international FBO. The RNP(GNSS) Instrument Approach has been approved by the CAA and is active from 10th August. The system improves flight safety and provides a full instrument GNSS approach on runway 06/24 which is 25 feet ASL.

Located east of the city of Leeds the FBO is in a perfect setting for access to the North Yorkshire Moors, York, Leeds and has easy access to main transport links to northern England.

The extensive, spacious lounge at Leeds East Airport offers passengers outstanding comfort with features including technological innovations set in luxurious surroundings. There are facilities for private business meetings within the FBO. In keeping with the high standards offered at Leeds East, the FBO delivers quality, efficiency, operational excellence and a unique customer experience. When traveling to and from the new FBO, on-site taxi services can be provided.

It is anticipated that users of the new FBO will include private charters, business travelers, football charters, corporations and high-net-worth individuals. The location of Leeds East Airport means that it is ideally located for access to business and leisure facilities throughout the North of the UK. It has particularly good access for shooting parties wishing for immediate access to the North Yorkshire Moors.
