It is not a PR disaster, it's today's news that tomorrow's chips will be wrapped in! However the airport must get on the front foot, pull the Charlie holding points back in front of the hangers so the noise is blocked from the residents then in due course re-align the taxiway. Also the prevailing wind for the last 10 days has favoured 05 for take off, they are now using 23 so perhaps some of the immediate pressure will be removed.
