Three major airlines will be able to fly more often over Moreton Bay in a move Brisbane Airport says will reduce aircraft noise over the city.
Three major airlines will be able to fly over Moreton Bay more often when they arrive and depart Brisbane Airport, in a move the airport says will reduce aircraft noise over the city.
"The higher the tail wind allowance, the more likely we are to get aircraft arriving and departing over the bay," he told ABC Radio Brisbane. "We acknowledge that aircraft noise is a genuine concern for many people who do live close to the airport or under a flight path," he said. "Those airlines – some of the biggest, safest airlines in the world – feel there is no change to safety as a result," he said.
"Noting that whilst the official allowable tailwind is 5 knots, airlines and pilots may opt to accept a higher tailwind."
