There's no reason to suppose that flightpaths from an estuary airport
would be routed over central London at all.

There's also no reason to suppose they won't be.

To reduce the noise.

Which is why, currently there is a curfew at LHR. The claim for
Borisport is that it will operate 24/7.

Why should that be a worry? If you compare the noise created by an
airport now to that say 20-25 years ago then they are almost silent
and getting even more quiet year on year.



Total nonsense.

If you can't tell the difference between the noise an airport makes
now and what it did 25 years ago then either you are too young to have
been around 25 years ago or you really ought to get your ears tested!



Never mind 25 years ago, 55 years ago I lived next door to Heathrow! It
is certainly a ruddy sight noisier now. While individual aircraft are
quieter than those in normal service 25 years now there are a lot more
of them and they come and go much more frequently.
