There is currently no limit on the number late arrivals at night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flight paths<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A normal flight path corridor can be up to 14km wide. The flight path corridors (red lines) on these maps demonstrate a width of approx 1km. Manston developers admit they have no control over the exact path each aircraft eventually chooses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pollution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cargo planes are the noisiest and most polluting types of aircraft. As a dedicated cargo hub Manston will primarily be flying planes converted to freight-only use from older passenger planes \u2013 such as the recently- retired 747s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Climate Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manston Airport would use up 1.9% of the UK\u2019s target CO2 emissions for 2050. Planning experts say this will seriously affect the ability of the UK Govt to meet its carbon reduction targets, and  Planning Inspectors have already concluded that there is no national need for an airport development at Manston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Noise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts say that anything above 85 decibels can damage your hearing.&nbsp; Noise levels under previous flight Manston paths have been measured as loud as 100 db.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please sign our online petition &#8211; click <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ipetitions.com\/petition\/are-you-under-the-new-manston-flightpaths\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> &#8211;  if you want more transparency on consultations about the new Manston flight paths so that those affected can understand the real environmental impact of the new airport proposals and development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manston airport in East Kent is to be developed into a major international cargo hub with all-new flight paths.
