context_page_description: Leeds East Airport Church Fenton, formerly RAF Church Fenton, is an airport and former Royal Air Force station located 4.3 miles south east of Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England and 6.3 miles north west of Selby, North Yorkshire, near the village of Church Fenton. The airport had a licensing application from The UK Civil Aviation Authority rejected. Which means plans to allow regular scheduled passenger flights and charter flights to various European destinations have been scrapped.
context_section_description: The site was sold on 23 December 2014 to Makins Yorkshire Strawberries with the exception of a section containing the Air Cadets.  Makins intends to keep the airfield operational.
  In February 2015, Makins Enterprises (the new airfield owners) launched their new website, renaming the airfield. It will now be known as 'Leeds East Airport', with the slogan "Yorkshire's newest aviation destination."  It is believed that Makins Enterprises will target the business jet market, while also running a flying school and other ventures.
  The second series of the ITV drama Victoria was shot at a hangar onsite in 2017.
