The main issues are increased noise and environmental damage to local residents. A lack of demand in shoulder periods of the day means Gatwick is not full, they only want to be able to sell expensive extra slots to low cost carriers in peak times, which are the times that cause the most disturbance to people. Furthermore, this doesn’t benefit consumers or add choice it will only see yet more low cost carriers come in to Gatwick - in fact freezing out other carriers and reducing choice and competition
