Opinion: CAGNE responds to Gatwick Airport new runway noise limits

CAGNE, the umbrella aviation community and environment group for Sussex, Surrey and Kent, must welcome any offer of noise restrictions from Gatwick Airport. Our initial response must be to question if this is legally binding and will therefore offer residents a guaranteed limit to the noise they will have to endure from departures and arrivals with 2 runway

operations.
