The long awaited ‘Tracker’ system at Bristol Airport is to go live on Monday (1st February), allowing Airport staff to keep tabs on the exact route and height of all aircraft.

The system has been called for by Bath MP Don Foster following numerous complaints from Bath residents that aircraft are flying too low over the city. Now, with a call to the Airport noise management service, staff will be able to produce a graphic record of any flight which may have caused concern. Bath MP Don said,

This system is really going to help us deal with the issue of low flying aircraft. Now all complaints to the noise management service can be dealt with more effectively and information passed on to airlines if needed. I would urge all residents to report what they believe to be low flying aircraft to the Bristol Airport noise management service. As this system beds in I hope we will be able to significantly reduce the problem of low flying planes over Bath.
