@HACANEast Try asking London City Airport how many private flights they accept!

Great to hear from a diverse range of residents at yesterday's Public Inquiry into London City Airport's expansion plans. All spoke from the heart. All said how much they valued the weekend break from the noise. As one resident put it 'when will they listen to the little guy?'

@RichardHerson What exactly do you use for the analysis? mike_gerard@bluewin.ch

I now have the ability to analyse arrival and departure activity by UK airport. In the case of Southend Airport, last WEEK, between midnight and 6am there were 13 arrivals & 7 departures. Same week in 2019 there were 2 arrivals & 1 departure. Has planning consent changed?

@The_AEF Mathematically, a reduction by 165% is impossible!

Claim that new jet fuel from waste will cut flying emissions 'by up to 165%' is dangerously misleading, says AEF. In fact, the report shows that when the fuel is burnt, aircraft emissions would actually be higher than from fossil fuel. aef.org.uk/2021/03/16/cla…

@HACANEast Experience here in Geneva over the Summer shows that the Business flights go overwhelmingly to nice holiday destinations, very often in the South of France.

London City just issued a report showing..wait for it..business argues aviation is important. Who'd have known?! But maybe inevitable City has to hype it up as it relies on business passengers more than any other airport..and so far they haven't returned: media.londoncityairport.com/business-air-t…

C’est la journée mondiale de l’aviation civile. L’occasion de se rappeler que le trafic aérien est responsable de près de 20% de l’impact climatique en Suisse. C’est trop! #StayGrounded #ICAO75 #FlyDay

@RHarrabin easyJet UK has two subsidiaries: easyJet Europe (in Vienna) and easyJet Switzerland. Only easyJet UK has the new A320Neo aircraft. Is the study for all of them, or just the UK?

@KevinClimate City Night Line sleeper trains are operated by Deutsche Bahn, and offer passengers the opportunity to travel between major European destinations overnight in comfortable accommodation.

@FischerP13 Avant TTC ce lundi j'ai bcp d'information sur les annulations etc. easyJet cet été. Mike_Gerard@bluewin.ch

@runwaysuk : a ban of six and half houses on scheduled night flights :-)

@CAGNE_GATWICK @birminghampost How do the people living near the airport like this?

@AirportWatch : what are periods of predicable [stet] respite?

@AirportWatch Which new massive planes (remembering that we are assured that modern planes are getting less noisy)?

@robbarnstone Boris Island now?

@StopCityAirport I automatically mistrust ANY organisation headed by a "Sir"

@HACAN1 Objectively, how do you know that they are too low?

@chrisfroome Lekker !

@HACAN1 remind me of the definition of being under (one of) the flight path(s)!
