HACAN have submitted a response to the Future of Transport regulatory review: Future of Flight.
Although not exhaustive given the focus is on the noise regulations for new and novel aircraft (mainly drones, unmanned aircraft and potentially new flying taxi style transportation) we felt it important to highlight a few key issues that will impact local communities.
HACAN responded to the Transport Select Committee inquiry into Airlines and Airports: supporting the recovery of the UK aviation sector which closed in October.
Following the announcement by the Secretary of State for Transport that ICCAN was to be abolished, a cross-party group of 13 MPs and Peers have written to Grant Shapps setting out the continued need for a strong independent voice to reflect community concerns about aviation noise.

It was pleasure to welcome over 50 members to our in-person AGM this past Thursday.
We were delighted to be joined by Sarah Olney MP who provided an excellent speech highlighting her thoughts on the next steps in the campaign against Heathrow expansion, her recent Parliamentary activities on aviation and her commitment to ensuring that the Government take meaningful action on aircraft noise following the abolition of ICCAN.
It was also fitting for members to finally be able to say thank you to our former Chair John Stewart for his efforts over the previous 20 years.
We are delighted to announce that Sarah Onley MP (Lib Dem, Richmond Park) will be the keynote speaker for our AGM.
