 NIGHT FLIGHTS |
Night flying restrictions are reviewed for Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted every five to six years and the current rules which limit Stansted to 12,000
night flights a year (on average 33 per night) come to an end in October 2005. The Government wants to hear from the aviation industry and local
communities to help it decide on the rules that should apply in future. The second stage of the Consultation closed on 16 September 2005.
The Department for Transport proposes to allow a 40% increase in the number of night flights at Stansted by 2011/12. However, if the Government were to adopt instead the current World Health Organisation Guidelines for aircraft night noise, night flights would be very severely curtailed.
