Residents near Birmingham Airport are raising concerns over plans to increase night flights, citing worries about increased noise, particularly in areas like Tile Cross.

Locals report that the frequency and size of flights already affect their quality of life, especially indoors.

The airport seeks permission from Solihull Council to raise the limit of nighttime flights from 5% to 7.3% to meet rising demand and promises to work with the council on sound insulation improvements for nearby homes.

The airport's CEO argues that more night flights would bring economic benefits.
