Having been peripherally involved in an organisation where an issue has gone viral, SEN might find it is living with the "noisy, smelly airport" for a while - newspapers might be next weeks chip wrappings but the internet has a loooong memory.
How, exactly, could have this been prevented?
What could have been done - my point is, looking at a map it should be obvious there was going to be an issue, so what was done?
Changes to holding points would be a start, but why wasn't it done earlier? Looking at the articles on the web, there's a chainlink fence - no earthworks or blast fence?
400 odd complaints, all get the response "the aircraft concerned was operating normally, legitimately and within the Airports operating framework" and nobody spots a problem?
they may not be keen to give any ground for fear of demands for more.
The airport is only going to get busier, so the problems isn't going away - somebody needs to get a grip and start managing.
