Details about aircraft that have landed or taken off will be available

The new facility, called "Webtrak", provides detailed information about aircraft that have landed or taken off.

It then replays the track the aircraft has flown, as well as revealing air traffic patterns on the website.

The flight information, updated daily, is displayed 24 hours in arrears to maintain aviation security.

Until now, information about specific aircraft associated with the airport could only be obtained by written request, a spokeswoman for the airport said.

"By visiting the airport's website, the public will be able to interrogate the system for themselves to obtain information such as the aircraft's track, altitude, destination, airline and aircraft type," she added.

The system is already being used at Gatwick Airport in West Sussex.
