In the news today; Manchester Airport challenges the congested airports in the south (UK). Makes perfect sense to have an International Hub airport in the North, as along as they don't overfly the South en-route. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gatwick is top of the table for official night flights and well ahead for flights at "anti-social times". Expansion will mean many more night flights for Kent, Surrey and Sussex residents. 🫨 Look at Bristol too. Disproportionate number of night flights.

Proof that Southampton's airport expansion has increased flight volumes Y-T-Y by 25%. Now where's the proof of the promised economic benefit? All it's done has; increased noise & emissions for 1m+ people, grown the tourist deficit (-£s), grown the import deficit (-£s).😠

Aircraft noise reality check. Flight arrives too early for Gatwick so is parked at 8000 feet for 40mins over East Sussex and Kent at 5:15am BST. Residents over a 90 sq. mile area would experience a continuous droning noise over a 30 minute period and see 4 flights. 1 of many.

📢Great new feature added. All Aircraft Noise Assessments, old & new, include a link that shows the end-to-end flight path for all flights overflying a UK postcode. Click on the "Call-Sign" and up will pop the flight path visualisation. Link in the image description below.

Aircraft Noise and Emissions. Below are EZY74UD flights from/to Scotland in a SINGLE day (27-07-25). Surely the bulk of the flight path could be moved 2 miles offshore rather then overflying the mainland. There are hundreds of examples of this everyday. Ridiculous.

And here is another example of a flight over the UK @ 5:15am a few days ago. I know its high but the higher the flight is the further the sound wave travels in all directions, fact. Perhaps pilots still rely on church spires and fire beacons for guidance.

Aircraft Noise & Emissions. The noise from 1 individual flight is tolerable but when there are regularly 6+ flights an hour over a postcode it becomes INTOLERABLE. The CAGNE campaign should make this point to the planners and environmentalists as it's not all Gatwick

Luton Airport - aircraft noise watch. Below are the movements for a single plane on a single day. Fascinating to watch but really frustrating and annoying to live with day & night. It all starts with a simple departure or arrival and then cascades into misery for many.

Characteristics of Aircraft Noise and the rustle of leaves by a tree. Both are 40-60 dBs, which isn't that loud. One's restful the other being very annoying and here is why.... Science could address this but 1st the Aviation noise regulation exemptions need to be reversed.

Aircraft Noise, Part 2 Like a police car's siren, aircraft noise seems louder when the plane approaches, then fades as it passes. The noise is worse at night when ground temperatures cool. Do our lawmakers (MPs) understand the science and what sleep deprivation really means?

Gatwick Airport Expansion. 100k flights mean over 110k+ local flight events. Expect more hours of activity when there are 9+ flights per hour per postcode within 40-mile radius—constant droning 😱. The key difference between Gatwick and Heathrow; Gatwick 💕💕night flights £££s.

Aircraft Noise. Big spike in airport activity last week, especially those located in the South East. Any ideas why? Perhaps playing catch-up after the storm.

#Aircraft Noise. The following is very apt and was published in 1836'ish. Certainly worth sharing with those that continue to pretend that aircraft noise has little to no impact on us mere mortals and so push for more airport expansion (flights) without reason and thought.

#Aircraft Noise. I can't comment on the drop in plane numbers in 2024 but my stats show a 7% increase in flights so far in 2025 at London City Airport.

#Aircaft Noise. New feature launch. Many would like to know the direction in which planes are flying when venturing into your area. Our 31 day INTERACTIVE VISUAL includes the compass direction & dynamically calcs the time & avg. height. Try it now at the ALT link below.

#AircraftNoise has a greater impact outside the centre of major towns or cities. Why? The rapid change in noise overloads our senses, causing stress & fatigue. Our 3-mile aircraft noise Assessments shines a light on the bigger picture. No blurred-out lines here, just facts.

📢New Airport Movement analytics. It's easier to monitor the consequences of UK airport expansion using the new graphic. E.g. impact of the recent growth at Southhampton. The year-on-year flight movements & Night flight data is refreshed every Tuesday. aircrafttrafficsurvey.com/?page_id=4202

Almost 75% growth for Southend Airport. Fight activity at Southend Airport appears to have grown by 76%+ in flight activity in 2025. Why so popular, has their product offering changed i.e. more routes etc? As expected Night flights are also up.
