Those '8' people you mention were just representatives for the same group that lobbied against Terminal 5 and the new proposed runway at LHR. They are a meddling group wanting 'clear skies' above London. None of these groups seem to understand the economic implications for all, excluding aviation, ie. all those affected by the non-appearence of tourists because the 'cheap flights' don't exist anymore. All they are complaining about is the 16 flights permitted to land between 4am and 6:30am, however the knock-on effect is huge. But obviously our economy is booming from within right now...
The news says that the ban may spread further away; I'd like to see charter outfits out of Manch, Gatwick, Standsted, Luton, Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham, and the freight from Cov and EMA survive from this. I love it when people don't think past their own front door, which they bought at a price set accordingly to all outside influences
