In the case of Mr Bird, Wokingham is in Berkshire - it's Woking that's in Surrey! Which one is it, I wonder?

So night flights are banned because of the human gripes Act. Don't these people realise they have the simple right..... MOVE if you don't like it. Meantime, Frankfurt and CDG pick up the business. Does anything in this country work anymore?

what about those of us who work night hours,we still have the same basic right to sleep than everyone else,so will they then ban daytime flights?i don't think so,this is then clear discrimination,rights to one but not the other.

Viking, a huge number of people cannot 'just move', and why should they?, sand in the head attitudes like that will only give rise to further restrictions on our industry. Many other major international airports in Europe have far greater operating restrictions than the UK.

It should not be forgot that the complainants had seen an increase in noise for the period in question, when all the 'experts' were telling them that there would be no significant increase.

Big E are you suggesting we should make a claim for compensation?, or to ban night shifts?
