LTNman says I posted 120 per month when that happens night after night.
Should be ashamed of yourself.
Those in charge should scroll back read my words then see how they were altered and act.

Sorry you have lost me. The agreement is for up to 120 movements a month. I have reread my post and can’t see anything wrong with it. The issue is not with the airport, the problem is with the Council who allowed 737 night flights with cargo but banned 737 night flights with passengers making the airport less viable for airlines like Easyjet. As far as complaining residents are concerned a 737 is a 737 regardless of what is on board.
Unlike most airports Southend is very close to residential areas. I find it bad enough and I live a mile away and parallel to a longer runway. Once on the ground there is then the taxing so it isn’t even a 10 second blast of noise.
