AirportWatch To conceal the real number of aircraft noise complaints, Gatwick now just records one per person per day
New airlines will simply not come without enhanced airside and promoted routes,vueling,volotea for example.
Expect little progress until there is radical change!
Viewed a recent you tube clip of a cockpit landing on 02 and was shocked to see how much undergrowth and trees exist on approach, to the point that you can hardly see the landing lights before the motorway. How on earth do the airport get away with this as it must be a safety issue and i dont know of another airport that suffers from this lack of care and maintenance!
