Re: freighter noise at International, a few months ago they introduced a night-time max speed of 250 KIAS below FL070 to try to reduce overflight noise. Took a little while for crews to adapt ( e.g. to stop popping the spoilers to restrain speed ) but subjectively it has worked.

Smokes and mirrors with relation to planning etc at the airports. Surely the curfew is between 21.30 and 06.30 at BHD. Planes can land after 21.30 to 23.59 in exceptional circumstances.
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.

We inhabitants of Derry are pleased to see the back of FR. We also dislike hypocrisy and liars. Sorry chum.
Ps Merry Christmas to all, and I hope next week's inclement weather doesn't spoil travel plans.

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.

Cutters,this is the BHD thread. Not the Londonderry one. So you say youll be glad to get rid of FR. Who's gonna trump up cause the EU will be all over NI executive funding of PSO funded routes from a council funded (tax payers) vanity project. At least BHD pays its way and profitable.

OK have any of you read the planning ?
1997 planning agreement under Part 3 - Obligations
1. Hours
Only in exceptional circumstances to permit Delayed Aircraft to use the Aerodrome during the Extended hours.
Now just to clarify that the extended hours are from 21.30-23.59.

With reference to Belfast International Airport, there was an article within in the last 5 years or so, announcing a commitment to routing aircraft at night from the greater Belfast area. I have to say they still appear to route over Belfast up to midnight anyway.

DC. You brought up Derry, not me. Now give it a rest. You're making yourself look like a right imbecile.
I can confirm that FR routes over Greater Belfast. I was on the last LGW-BFS flight of the day last week.

Cutters, give it a rest lad. You're making yourself look a dick. You hate BFS so much but you fly LGW to BFS. Who's the hypocrit. At least you're 14 miles closer to your tractor.

What amuses me is that the airport has known about the operating hours issue almost from the beginning. The airlines knew before they started operating there. They knew what they were getting into and then decide, let us just ignore the restrictions when it suits.
So, why shouldn't residents object when the airport and airlines know the rules?
If the airlines don't like the rules, use Bfs! You cannot say that BA and EI were not aware of the rules before they decided to use Bhd. Why did they not take that into account? Unless, of course, they think they can just ignore them. One of the reasons why many people are getting fed up with big businesses.

Nice one TB and very true. I'm sure Cutters will have something to say about his beloved LDY but hates FR but uses FR to fly to BFS. Hiprocacy at first hand, but we all know he's a dick.

DC, you and Cuthere need to get a room but keep your crap off the threads. We are interested in aviation here.
As for the curfew, I would be interested to see some stats on late arrivals.

I here what you say Second, . I've worked in this field for many years in crew,ground and revenue. I would gladly get a room with Cutters but we would probably argue all night. I've worked for Manx Airines, Business Air, British Midland Loganair, Suckling Airways and easyJet. I think I have some say rather that a spotter.
