PROTESTERS in pyjamas demanded action against night-time aircraft noise at a Yorkshire airport today.
The demonstration in Leeds was one of dozens worldwide targeting airports where campaigners say noise from night flights threatens the health of residents living beneath flight paths.
Leeds City Council regulates the flights from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) at Yeadon, about 10 miles from the city centre.
