Farnborough Airport breaches no fly ban

There is in place in the UK and across northern Europe a no fly zone due to the dust from the eruption of Eyjafjallajoekull in Iceland.

Farnborough Airport, a business airport southwest of London, has twice breached the no fly ban putting passengers and crew and those on the ground at risk.

- Mid-morning (around 1030 BST) Friday 16 April 2010 aircraft takes off in an easterly direction from Farnborough Airport

- 1022 Monday 19 April 2010 aircraft takes off in an easterly direction from Farnborough Airport

Profit before people and planet. Business aviation with its low occupancy is one of the most obscene forms of transport.

Farnborough Airport has had an application to double its number of flights rejected. An appeal is due to go before a Planning Inquiry in May. Meanwhile local residents are enjoying unaccustomed peace and quiet.
