Apart from joining the campaign (see the "Support us" button) you could do these things ...
Complain about the noise
Whenever the noise from an aircraft upsets you, complain to the Airport using our form here: here. We will forward the complaints we receive each month to the airport BUT there is no guarantee they will look at them
You can also use the Airport's own, more complicated complaints facility here - you will need to scroll down the page to find the complaints link. The Airport will look at complaints submitted this way.
Fly less often if you can
If you have more than one holiday abroad in a year or you go on city or weekend breaks each year, maybe think about not flying on all of them. In the UK, roughly 50% of the population does not participate in air travel in any given year, with 15% of the population responsible for 70% of all flights - the frequent fliers. Is this you?Think about travelling by train
Train travel is a more rewarding alternative to flying which reduces our contribution to climate change and brings us closer to the countries we visit. Maybe travel comfortably & affordably by train or ferry, rediscovering the pleasure, romance & adventure of the journey.The Man in Seat 61
