A press release from Aviation Environment Federation about new data that shows that people are affected by aircraft noise at much lower levels than previously believed. Especially at night
The Airport's Noise Action Plan
Every airport has to have one of these. It's complex and it has no teeth to enforce noise management. Look at pages 52 to 68 to see how the airport's noise footprint will get larger if and when its expansion plans become reality

A Stay Grounded report. Flying poses a long-term risk for the climate and a livable future. It also is an immediate health risk for people living near airports and under flight paths, as well as for cabin crew and passengers.
Newcastle Airport's Masterplan 2040
This is the masterplan that includes the plans for almost doubling the number of passengers each year by 2040. More passengers = more flights, more noise, more climate change impact, more pollution. It's a big glossy document

A New Economics Foundation report. Government continues to support aviation expansion on the basis that aviation benefits the economy and creates jobs. However the assumptions that underpin this position are outdated and, in many cases, incorrect.
Greenwashing
A Stay Grounded report. “Greenwashing” is misinformation intended to mislead about the environmental impact of aviation's activities.
The rhetoric of “Sustainable Aviation”
The aviation industry continues to promote technological salvation into a perpetually deferred future to ease public concern and, especially, to postpone any regulation.
