I'd like to believe that jets are MUCH more noisy than SEPs or even MEPs - so it can't be noise!
These movement numbers are VERY low... In fact they're only slightly higher than Schiphol gets in a month, but spread over the whole year!! Schiphol still accepts GA (albeit a little pricey handling charge...) - Southend copes perfectly well, as does IOM, Gloucester amongst many others - why can't Biggin Hill do it?
Unlike Biggin, Schipol has a plentful supply of runways, several of which are in use at any one time, and they seem to have added another runway every time I've been there.
