8th January 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heathrow Airport launched a major public\nconsultation today. It runs for 12 weeks until 4th March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Runway alternation<\/strong> in West London will be cut from half a\nday to a third of the day to allow for alternation on a third runway if it is\nbuilt. The consultation is asking for views on how this should be\nimplemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Significant changes to airspace are proposed to allow for vast swathes of London and the Home\nCounties, which currently get all-day flying, to get respite<\/strong>\nfrom the noise for the first time. It applies to both arrivals and\ndepartures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HACAN has released its response to the consultation. <\/strong> Please\nfeel free to use it to inform your own response should you wish.
