The curfew hours were made in the days when aircraft were a lot noisier than todays new aircraft , I believe the EK413 late departure in December was due to fuel supply probs , due to a storm at the airport, I think that airports need to move with the times and give extra allowance to aircraft which are not so noisy , I was riding at Brighton-Le Sands yesterday and hardly heard a thing when QF31 took off over the water 16R ?
I am sure that if EK413 took off from the same runway - using the full length , the noise would be minimal , common sense should always prevail !
