Aviation expansion: the airport's big enough already
  • Newcastle Airport is proposing to almost double its passenger numbers by 2040. 
  • Aircraft emissions heat the planet
  • Increasing emissions as climate change is accellerating is crazy.
What does this mean?
  • Numbers of flights will have to grow massively.
  • Night flights may increase 
  • More noise, more climate change emissions. 
  • The proposed runway will allow bigger aircraft - the noise will reach out further than it does now.
What you need to know:
  • There are no limits on the time of day or night when the airport can fly planes
  • Aircraft noise is not a statutory nuisance. There is no legal redress however badly affected you are
