Dear Friends,
The General Election is an ideal opportunity to raise tthe issues around London City Airport: its concentrated flight paths and its expansion proposals outlined in its recent draft Master Plan. HACAN East has emailed a briefing to each of the candidates. But numbers count. It would be great if you could contact the candidates standing in your constituency to let them know how you feel. A short email would be ideal outlining the key issues:
London City’s plans to:
Almost double the number of flights from their current
level. At present there are around 80,000 flights a year. There is an
annual cap of 111,000. London City wants that lifted to 151,000.
Get rid of the 24 hour weekend break. Currently
no flights are permitted between 12.30pm on Saturday and 12.30pm on Sunday.
Bring in more early morning and late night flights. But
the night flight ban would remain.
And of course the issue of the concentrated flight
paths (which the airport is currently reviewing and will come
up with options in 2021.)
With my thanks,
John Stewart (chair HACAN East)
