Airport delays flight path change
Nottingham East Midlands Airport has postponed changes to its flight paths.

The plans for a new flight path over eastern Leicestershire had been met with opposition from residents.

People living in the area said it would lead to increased noise levels, but despite this the Civil Aviation Authority approved the change in July.

Airport managers had welcomed the decision allowing them to move the flight path as they said aircraft would be higher and affect 75% fewer people.

They have now decided to postpone the changes and will consult further.
