As for BFS I thought that within the last 5 years aircraft arriving/departing during the night had to route around the urban sprawl of Belfast.
OK have any of you read the planning ?
Exceptional circumstances is not in the planning statement
It is "the exception to this" the word exceptional is only used by the residents group and Aldergrove huggers.
As for going round Belfast at night. Nope. If you look at flight radar 24 even with its inaccuracies you will see many flights follow the final approach for 04.
