we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously, both as an airport and ATC, the training is mostly mon/fri 9-5, done at 2000ft, circuit direction varied and little if any single engine work.
However the training needs to be done somewhere so why not east mids?-we are an airport, yes we do create noise, but our complaints are falling year on year, we are also a business and I fail to see why we should turn away trainers from an airport that has provided this facililty since 1965-a lot longer than most complainers have been in the area-if you do not like airport noise do not live near one-though judging by the amount of sold signs up in Kegworth that does not seem to put many people off!
