Covid-19 lockdown: life under a flight path

We publish our latest newsletter in which we highlight what we would like to see Government implement as it works with the aviation industry to get back in the air - in a more moderated and moderate way:

1. fairly SHARE pollution caused by plane noise and emissions across communities
2. PHASE flight paths and reverse the increasing concentration in any form: NO to Independent Parallel Approaches and NO to Performance Based Navigation – satnav for planes
3. BAN flights between 10pm and 7am except in emergency: an end to sleep deprivation
4. end policy of departure/arrival routes to more than one airport operating over the same communities
5. update SoNA, Government's flawed noise metric which forces so many to endure plane noise at levels and times of night and day and out of step with WHO recommendations
6. DfT and ICCAN should pause and consider how the improved noise climate can be protected as the industry recovers 
7. NO aviation bailout without green strings attached to include frequent flyer levy, tax on fuel
8. NO lifting cap on flights; for Londoners this means NO to Heathrow or London City requesting more flights even where there the cap has not been reached
