Members of the Communities Against Gatwick Noise and Emissions – CAGNE – say the airport plans to introduce new flight paths once its northern runway is brought into full time use.
A spokesperson said: “It is clear that Gatwick are misleading residents – on one hand they seek to assure residents that there will be no new flight paths from a two-runway airport, but on the other hand they are in full knowledge of their plans for a new airspace for a two-runway airport, that will include many concentrated flight paths over new areas.”
