Our comments on Newcastle Airport’s Masterplan for 2035 including comments previously submitted around the consultation process. It also includes our comments on the Noise Action Plan for the sake of completeness.

This is the October 2019 briefing. The Airport got upset and asked us to take down the August briefing because they said it had inaccuracies and privileged information. The Airport refused to tell us what it thinks was wrong with it, in spite of us asking twice, so we had to guess. We replaced the original briefing with this one.

The CAA reviewed the effects of the implementation, in 2017, of the flightpath change. These are our comments on its review

We've produced a table that shows how far away from an aircraft might need to be in order for the  noise to be less intrusive.  It looks at departures only  and depends on the altitude of the aircraft.
