If you’re fed up with all those noisy planes taking off and landing at George Best Belfast City Airport, be warned – things will get much worse if the airport gets the go-ahead for its proposed runway extension.
But the Environment Minister is giving you and us a chance to put our case at a public inquiry into the airport’s proposals.
BELFAST CITY AIRPORT WATCH is an umbrella residents’ group fighting to ensure there’s no further expansion of the City Airport. Please support our work and help us to campaign effectively on your behalf.
What Difference Will A Runway Extension Make?
An extended runway would mean we’d have an international airport right on the doorstep of Belfast and north Down. It would allow the airport to greatly expand its operations. It would also enable planes to carry larger loads of passengers and fuel, leading to heavier aircraft and greater levels of noise.
So what can I do?
Fighting a public inquiry really well requires resources and lots of support. Sign up as a supporter of BCAW and your money (if you can donate) and support will help us to make the best possible case on behalf of the residents.
