I'll try to give my understanding of the "old" Section 106 agreement with the Council.

23:00 to 06:00 no take-offs

23:00 to 07:00 no landings, except that planes arriving from the USA may land after 06:00

These restrictions apply to almost all aircraft.

Exceptions are the usual...humanitarian flights etc

There have been several flights under Infratil's ownership that have broken these rules, one this very morning. It's not yet clear if any fines (£1,000 per movement, on the operator) are being charged.

Personally, I'd like to see all restrictions lifted.
