Overview of Heathrow Departure Corridor Trials Impact on Local Areas

This document provides an overview of recent trials at Heathrow Airport aimed at consolidating aircraft departures into narrower corridors. The purpose is to alleviate pressure on air traffic controllers and reduce aircraft separation. Trial 1 impacts a broad area including Sunningdale and Sunninghill by shifting the Midhurst westerly departure corridor into these regions, concentrating departures. Trial 2 further complicates matters by altering the Southampton Departure Route, significantly affecting areas between Ascot and Sunninghill. The trials lead to intense noise disruption and impact on local communities.
