HECB Response to DfT Night Flight Restrictions Consultation
The Heathrow Community Engagement Board Ltd (HCEB) is currently undergoing changes to its own structure. In light of the significant reduction in our responsibilities and activities resulting from the suspension of all active DCO processes, HCEB is reverting to its former role as an airport consultative committee for the foreseeable future. Our focus and functions will be as outlined in the DfT’s Guidelines.
We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Night Flight Consultation through our Transport, Environment and Noise Advisory Group (TENAG) and Passenger Services Group (PSG). TENAG will cease to operate at the end of March 2021, but PSG will carry on providing advice to the HCEB. Both of these groups have different remits, and so their respective responses have necessarily reflected this.
