All are invited to hear more about the detail and to ask questions about the plan.

Tom Denton, Gatwick Airport head of corporate responsibility and environmental strategy, said: "We know noise is a significant issue for people living or working close to Gatwick Airport or under its flight paths. Limiting and where possible reducing, the impact of noise remains our ongoing commitment.

"These public sessions will provide an opportunity to share details of the plan and to answer questions. We welcome the thoughts and suggestions from a range of stakeholders to help us ensure we focus on the most appropriate long-term goals for managing noise at Gatwick Airport."

Two sessions will be held on Thursday July 9 between 3.30pm – 4.30pm and 7pm - 8pm at the Gatwick Conference and Business Centre, 7th Floor, Norfolk House, South Terminal, Gatwick Airport, RH6 0NP.

Further public sessions are scheduled for Thursday August 6 between 3.30pm – 4.30pm and 7pm – 8pm and Thursday September 17, 7pm – 8pm.
