A new RNP (GNSS) instrument approach at Leeds East Airport (EGCM) is set to be activated on August 10, giving business aircraft operators a fresh option for flying into northern England. The privately owned airport, which is the former Royal Air Force Church Fenton base, has a 5,900-foot runway and a newly built FBO.

ECGM is 15 miles east of Leeds city center and 10 miles from York. Standard daily opening hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the summer (closing at 5 p.m. in winter months), with after-hours on-call service available on request.
