The claim for Borisport is that it will operate 24/7.

With no-one living really close, and the flight paths not crossing
London either. Simples.

You are the one that is simple. There are quite a few built up areas
in the South East even if you want to ignore London.

But none sufficiently close to the airport to be bothered by the noise
on takeoff.

Then there is the question of what happens when the winds are easterly.

The sound doesn't blow that far (and the takeoffs will be across the
north sea).

But the approaches won't be.
