KEVIN Buck is shadow councillor in charge of transport. Of course he would like all night flights to stop but an agreement in place means the flights can continue. No-one can stop them although many have asked.
With so many now doing shopping online through Amazon, the company’s planes are obviously busier than usual.
Although this may be annoying for many, it’s also keeping the airport going and the staff still employed, working. Stop the night flights and there will be a bigger cull of staff.
Having lost Easyjet I don’t think the airport will survive if these flights are stopped.
I’m not confused. Kevin, I’m sure, would love the night flights to stop, but he has no way of stopping them flying. So stop trying to blame him.
