NIGHT flights by noisy Jumbo jets are to be banned by Manchester Airport.
Bosses at the rapidly-expanding airport want to bring in an 11pm - 6.30am blanket ban on the noisiest Jumbos from next year.
Newer, quieter Jumbos will also face severe nightime restrictions. And airport bosses say the noise limit for planes allowed to fly at night will be reduced to one of the lowest at any British airport.
