The Government is proposing no change to the number of night flights at Heathrow.\u00a0 The consultation document, released on 12\/1\/17 by the Department for Transport, argues that the current regime should continue for the next five years.\u00a0 It will then be clearer whether a third runway will be underway.\u00a0 Permission to build a third runway is expected to be conditional on a tougher night flight regime being introduced when it opens.<\/p>\n
At present an average of 16 flights each night are allowed to land at Heathrow between 11.30pm and 6am.\u00a0 There are no scheduled departures during this period.\u00a0 The first flight lands at 4.30am.<\/p>\n
