My concern is both noise and air pollution a freight hub would cause to residents of Thanet. THE AIRPORT owners wish to attract operators unable to use London airports due to their restrictive practices about high contamination planes. The planes would be able to land at a time when children are going to bed and having lived under the flight path for a few years in the 80's I know how disturbing it can be. The figures about employment seem to be vastly overstated for the number of flights they are quoting which seems to me to be underhand as have many other facets of this application. I am greatly opposed to the Airport being reopened a have no wish for night flights after 6;30pm should you grant a restricted license.
