If LBA gets its way, this is what will happen to Leeds ambition to cut greenhouse gas emissions. If anyone still claims that climate change doesn't cause extreme weather, go ask the 100s of 1000s of people evacuated from their homes in France, Spain and Scotland because of uncontrollable wildfires

LBA thinks it can ignore the Council's decision on night flights and fly as many as it wants. LBA is wrong and the Council must take enforcement action when LBA next breaks the night flight rules. Write to your local councillors to demand the same. More info here: www.galba.uk/our-campaign...

Do the govt's plans to decarbonise aviation add up? The two words that come up time and again are "high risk". We're talking about climate change and the destruction of human civilisation. We should not take a "high risk" that the aviation sector will keep on pumping out greenhouse gas emissions

Night flights decision: LBA got their CLEUD but they didn't get unlimited night time flying. However they did get 941 extra night flights a year on top of the 4,000 already allowed. We think this is an error of law and we're looking at legal action. More here: www.galba.uk/news-updates...
