Greg has written to the Chief Executive of Gatwick Airport, Stewart Wingate, in response to the consultation on the airport's draft Master Plan. Read his full response below:

Greg and Tonbridge MP Tom Tugendhat have issued a joint letter to the Department of Transport in which they question the effectiveness of the current regulatory framework in combating aircraft noise and highlight the impact of this noise is having on their constituents.

Greg met up with Gatwick, NATS and the CAA last week to discuss the underwhelming impact the recently implemented Arrivals Review has had on reducing aircraft noise over the Tunbridge Wells area, which many constituents still believe to be too loud. 

Greg has welcomed the government's decision to back Heathrow's expansion plans over those put forward by Gatwick. 

Greg and MPs representing neighbouring communities disturbed by aircraft landing at Gatwick Airport have issued a joint statement in response to Gatwick's Proposed Action Plan, which follows the conclusion of the recent Independent Review of Arrivals.

Commenting on the publication of Gatwick's Independent Review, Greg said:

Greg will be chairing a public meeting with the team leading Gatwick's independent review on Saturday 28 November at 10am in the Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells.

Greg said:

Following a meeting with Greg, easyJet has agreed to cut the noise from their aircraft operating out of Gatwick.

Greg has achieved another campaign success in his fight against aircraft noise with easyJet agreeing to modify their older Airbus A320 planes, which produce a particularly disturbing high-pitched whining noise. This follows a decision by British Airways earlier this week to do the same thing.

After pressing the Chief Executive of British Airways, Keith Williams, to modify their older Airbus A320 planes which produce a particularly disturbing high-pitched whining noise, the company has been in touch with Greg to say that they will all be upgraded within 2 years.
