Affected by Gatwick aircraft noise? Then this online meeting is for you

Chance to put questions to airport’s head of airspace

You are invited to an online event at which you can put questions to Gatwick airport’s head of airspace strategy and engagement.

This free event is due to be held on Thursday, October 13, at 7.30pm. To book a place, follow this link.

The event is being held online so as many people as possible can attend while not increasing personal carbon footprint by having to travel miles to a venue.

Whether you are currently overflown or could be overflown by the government’s plans to modernise airspace (changing the routes Gatwick airport flies), it is important that residents have this opportunity to ask questions of those making decisions about the airspace above their home. Hence this chance to speak to Andy Sinclair, Gatwick’s head of airspace.

CAGNE, the umbrella aviation community and environment group for Sussex, Surrey and Kent, says: “We are delighted that Gatwick airport has finally agreed to attend a meeting for residents of Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

“A key point that is continually raised with CAGNE is the impact of night flights. As such, this will be a key question for Gatwick as well as low-flying arrivals, loud departures and the introduction of concentrated flight paths.

“We encourage all residents to attend as Gatwick currently impacts residents in a 30-mile radius and with their plans for growth and a second runway it is imperative that residents use this opportunity to ask questions.”
