RUNWAY OPERATIONS FOR AN EXPANDED HEATHROW

Local Focus Forum – 30 October 2018

MANAGING AIRCRAFT NOISE IN THE FUTURE

Heathrow is quieter now than it

was in the 1970s

Our committed goal is to expand Heathrow whilst affecting

fewer people with noise than 2013. We believe this can be

achieved through a combination of factors - quieter planes,

quieter airport design, quieter operations and an extended ban

on scheduled night flights.

THE POLICY AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH HEATHROW OPERATES

ICAO Balanced Approach(International)

EU Regulation 598 & Environmental Noise

Directive (END) (European)

National Policy, Legislation, aims and objectives

(UK)

Heathrow operates in a context of international, European and UK policy and

regulatory frameworks and needs to comply with Airport National Policy Statement

(ANPS).

Classification: Public

SETTING AND ACHIEVING OUR NOISE OBJECTIVES

Noise Objective

What are we trying to achieve

Noise Envelope

The limits, targets, scope of opportunity for growth,

framework to achieve the objective

Noise Action Plan

The steps we take to ensure we are compliant with the

envelope and meet the objective

• UK aviation and noise policies, the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) and Heathrow’s own commitments have all created a range of requirements and inputs that we need to consider in establishing the right package of noise management measures for Heathrow.

• We therefore need to establish a noise objective - for specific issues such as night noise we will also develop a sub-objective. We will consult on this topic in January.

Classification: Public

RUNWAY OPERATIONS

Directional preference Runway alternation Night flights

Noise mitigation measures are core to the development of our proposals for a future

Heathrow.

• We recognise that noise as a result of expansion is a significant concern for local communities so we are committed to developing our future Heathrow whilst ensuring that we minimise the effects on our surrounding communities.

• In January 2019, we will be consulting on aspects for how we operate our future runways

Classification: Public

DIRECTIONAL PREFERENCE

• We know that the degree to which noise from aircraft is shared, and the relief that can

arise due to changes in the operating direction, is important to local communities.

• We are considering the potential options for how we might apply a preference for our future operations. We will consult on this topic in January.

Classification: Public

RUNWAY ALTERNATION

• Our Airports Commission proposal on runway alternation was an example of a system that could be delivered operationally but it was not necessarily a preferred, or final solution – it was to illustrate the concept.

• Using the feedback received in Consultation 1 and findings from technical evaluation, we are now developing our preferred alternation scheme and the detail of how it will operate, such as the timings, duration and scheduling. We will consult on this topic in January.

Classification: Public

NIGHT FLIGHTS – TODAY’S OPERATION

• The ANPS includes an expectation from the Government that expansion of Heathrow will deliver a ban on scheduled night flights of 6.5 hours, at some time between 23:00 and 07:00 (this is the period defined in UK policy as the night period) in line with EU Regulation 598.

• Using the feedback received in Consultation 1 and findings from technical evaluation, we are now developing a night noise objective in detail and consider the options for how different aspects of the night regime (including the ban on scheduled night flights) are put together to ensure the objective is met. We will consult on this topic in January.
