Night Flight Policy and Noise Abatement

The Department for Transport is implementing night flight restrictions at major UK airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted) from October 2025 and developing a national night flight policy framework. The policy addresses aircraft noise pollution and community concerns, with the Vehicle Noise Limits (Enforcement) Bill supporting broader noise abatement objectives.
