Farnborough Airport has launched its consultation on proposed changes to their operations. Leo Docherty MP is urging all constituents to make a submission and have their say on the proposals
The Airport's proposals include:
- Increasing the annual flight upper limit from 50,000 to 70,000 flights per year to meet the projected demand by 2040;
- Increasing the current annual non-weekday (i.e. weekends and Bank Holidays) flight upper limit from 8,900 to 18,900 flights per year;
- Changing operating hours on non-weekdays from 8am-8pm to 7am-9pm to reduce congestion at either end of the day.
There is also more detailed information on the Airport's website, which can be accessed here: https://farnboroughairport2040.com/our-proposal.
Local people will be able to have their say by attending one of six public drop-in consultation events or by logging on to a virtual tour and submitting comments online via the Airport's website from 20 September.
Commenting, Leo said: 'I am keen for everyone to have their say on these proposals, as I know many people will have their concerns. Constituents can make a submission via the Airport's website and can also share their views with me via my website.'
