Isn’t it against the law to fly at night & who allows night flights anyway?
There has never been a night ban at Gatwick. All the aircraft using Gatwick Airport during the night are operated in accordance with the night restrictions set by the Department for Transport (DfT). The DfT imposes restrictions on night flights in order to preserve a balance between the need to protect local communities from excessive aircraft noise at night, and the operation of services where they provide economic benefits. The decision to allow night flights, therefore, is a policy matter for the Government.
