| A sneak preview of the monthly Operational Freedoms report for August tells me : "The third freedom is to land inbound aircraft without holding between 05:30 - 06:00 hours in return for a reduction in the number of flights between 04:30-05:00 hours. This freedom was intended to be applied from 1st November 2012 to 28th February 2013, but will not now be enacted. Detailed work and discussions with the industry has found that it will not be possible to implement this measure during the trial due to operational factors (see www.heathrowairport.com/noise/noise-in-your area/operational-freedoms-trial/phase-2 for further information)." So we can expect the usual number of early morning calls after all ! For those interested, Hammersmith Council Transport Select C'tee is holding a public session on Operational Freedoms tomorrow night. http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Directory/News/Heathrow_complaints_unit_too_busy_to_deal_with_complaints.asp http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Images/ACE_Heathrow_Noise_tcm21-176281.pdf |
