Noisy night flight ban proposed by East Midlands Airport

Noisy planes would be banned from taking off or landing at East Midlands Airport (EMA) during the night under new plans.

A major hub for freight flights, a noise action plan for 2024 to 2028 is proposing bans on three categories of the noisiest planes between 11pm and 7am.

The suggested changes also would see penalties to airlines flying louder planes at night increased. A consultation closes on 31 July.

Ady Dayman speaks with Adam Freeman - head of environmental strategy for East Midlands Airport.
