FLIGHT paths over Warrington from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) could change as part of plans to modernise the UK's airspace.

LJLA is beginning a 12-week consultation, which will discuss potential changes to the routes taken by aircraft departing from and arriving at the airport.

The area covered by possible changes to flight paths reaches to south Lancashire in the north, Warrington in the east, mid-Cheshire in the south and across to Flintshire in the west.

Last year, a Warrington resident was recorded making 842 complaints about noise from the airport in one day.

The airport is keen to hear from members of the public who live within these areas.

John Irving, CEO for LJLA said: "This consultation gives the airport the opportunity to share its thoughts with various stakeholders across parts of north west England and North Wales and to seek feedback from communities regarding the various flight path changes being proposed.

"We hope that people will get involved with this consultation so that they can have their say on this important issue and help to shape the use of the airspace in this part of the UK."

The UK’s airspace has not undergone significant change since the 1950s and changes could help deliver quicker, quieter and cleaner journeys.

LJLA will be holding open days as part of the consultation to discuss the potential impact of any proposed flight paths.

These will take place on Wednesday, February 12 and Saturday, March 7.
