PRESS RELEASE

Nottingham East Midlands Airport Releases its Airport Master Plan Today.

'It has taken Nottingham East Midlands Airport 40 years to build up to the
amount of Night Flying it currently has, that is about 70 scheduled flights
per night and already has the most night flying in the whole of the UK, but
the Airport Master Plan is projecting almost a doubling of that figure
within 4 years by 2010.'

Steve Charlish Chairman of the DEMAND Campaign Group said today 'that it is
a Government backed Polluters Charter. An environmental disaster for those
residents already suffering below the flight paths.
If the Airport's Night Aircraft movements are so important and intrinsic to
the UK Economy and Midlands region economy, as the airport and the
Government are publicising why is it, that NEMA airport is being allowed to
expand without any environmental regulations or restrictions whatsoever,
such as those in place at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted.' Mr Charlish
insists 'that the Government is turning a blind eye to the expansion
proposals allowing NEMA to expand on voluntary noise regulations which are
meaningless', its like asking the fox to care for the chickens in the
chicken pen.'
