alternative instrument approach to runway 03 to the Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA), which would be understood to have noise reduction

have made towards a NAP review and that an assessment has been made
of this progress and remaining requirements for completing the NAP
review be noted.

option for further meetings remains open.
4.

BHAL, the Council has written to
BHAL to reiterate the Council’s

incomplete, the 50,000 aircraft movements cap remains in force at
the airport.
