Leeds Bradford International Airport and Belfast International Airport (pictured) have both joined the Strasser Scheme.
The scheme is a British initiative by Charles Strasser, a Vice President of AOPA, to waive landing fees for GA aircraft for landings which are genuine emergencies, diversions or precautionary procedures.
It allows pilots to make a timely precautionary weather diversion without having to worry about the potential cost when making that decision in the air.
There are still five UK airfields, Bournemouth, Cardiff, London-Luton, Lydd and Manchester which are not signed on with the scheme.
