Existing annual flight limit from 50,000 to 70,000 flights per year to meet the market demand for flights by 2040.
Existing annual non-weekday (i.e. weekends and public holidays) flight limit from 8,900 to 18,900 flights per year maintaining the same percentage of non- weekday flights as exists today.
Operating hours on non-weekdays from 8am-8pm to 7am-9pm to reduce congestion at either end of the day.
Restricted aircraft weight category from 50-80 tonnes to 55-80 tonnes and increase the number of annual flights allowed within this category to accommodate modern aircraft which are slightly heavier.
Although the proposed increases in flying activity at Farnborough Airport are not expected to be achieved until 2040, it is essential we consult on these changes now so that we can start to plan and invest for the long term.
