Fuelled for Efficiency: Why Business Aviation Loves Leeds East Airport

Written By Sophie Greenwood

Whether you’re flying in for a film shoot, chartering a business jet, or hopping across the country by helicopter, fuel pricing and turnaround time matter - and here at Leeds East Airport, we deliver on both fronts.

We offer some of the most competitive fuel prices in the North, with Jet A-1 at £0.89 per litre and AVGAS at £1.86 per litre (both incl. VAT). For many operators, it’s a welcome alternative to higher rates and congestion elsewhere.

And with no landing fees for minimum fuel uplifts, it’s even better value:

  • Jet A-1: 100 litres (MTOW of 2000kg or below)

  • AVGAS: 50 litres (MTOW under 1000kg), or 75 litres (MTOW 1000–1999kg)

Thanks to our rural yet well-connected location, we offer:

  • Smooth, efficient arrivals and departures

  • A fast, friendly team who understand the needs of production crews, private flyers and operators

  • Minimal wait times and maximum privacy

  • Helicopter-friendly handling - we support aircraft over 3.5 tonnes and yes, rotors running is welcome

At Leeds East Airport and Church Fenton, we are known for our calm, capable service and no-nonsense approach to operations. Whether you're planning a quick fuel stop, a location shoot, or a cross-country meeting, everything is designed to keep you moving - fast.

Just wheels down, fuel up, and you’re off again.
