Planes are flying too low, say residents – but Bournemouth Airport say flight path hasn’t changed
Bournemouth Airport says its flight paths are ‘set in stone’ and have not changed in any way,. But some West Parley residents complained of low flying aircraft, and believe the planes flying over their homes are lower than they were before. People have complained to local officials about ‘changed flight paths’ at the airport, also believe noisier aircraft are flying late at night. The airport’s managing director said there are no changes to the ILS for landings, or the times planes fly and “The last commercial aircraft comes in around 2300, sometimes a little bit later, but that is it.” A local councillor said: “Some of these planes are operating on the red eye flights and late at night, and one or two of the planes, in particular, are considered to be considerably noisier than normal flights. If this is the case, then it is quite antisocial for people living nearby.” At other airports there has been a problem of terminology. Airports and the air traffic control services have their own definitions of what “change” is. That does not include changes to flight mix, changes to times of day, heights, or how accurately planes follow a flight path. What residents who are overflown consider change is often not considered significant by the industry.

The project had been delayed after New Forest National Park requested a judicial review into Christchurch Borough Council’s decision to allow the project to go ahead.
Work on the new terminal is now expected to go ahead following an April decision by the High Court who heard the application from New Forest National Park. The Dorset Echo reports MAG have set a target of Spring 2010 for the completion of the project.
Peter Duffy, managing director at the airport told the newspaper: “We were originally hoping to fast track the building work but this was delayed by various factors beyond our control, such as a need to satisfy the requirements of some statutory consultees and the application for a judicial review by the New Forest National Park.” He added: “However, now that we have this additional funding secured, we will be able to move on to the next phase of the redevelopment within the next three or four weeks.”
