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.
Can't think of any scheduled 747 flights into MAN between these times anyway. The only a/c which come in/go out after these times are heavily delayed or the odd charter I reckon.
