Proximity to the Airport
Moor Grange is situated about 4 miles from Leeds Bradford International Airport. Since 2000 the air traffic to the airport has increased from around 1.6 million passengers a year to over 3 million passengers a year. This has led to a large increase in air traffic over the estate, particularly in the summer months. The frequency of the extra traffic, has caused annoyance to some residents. At peak time, five or six passenger jets may pass over Moor Grange to land at the airport every hour. The level of traffic is expected to grow further.
