What I am wondering is should us folk in South Luton also be contacting the airport on every departure or arrival flying over head? As Mr Lambourne correctly states; About 40% of departures fly in his area but South Luton is subject to 100% of departures. It seems so strange that Mr Lambourne receives so much attention yet resides at least 4 miles away from the airport yet by far the majority of folk including myself, with aircraft climbing out on full power above our homes, generally do not take notice of the aircraft. In fact sometimes my partner asks is the airport operating? Maybe the airport when taking statistical data on complaints should factor in locations of respondants and measure that against those actually living next to the airport at the runway ends who do not complain but are subject to the loudest aircraft sounds.
