Bob Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 23 October (ref 74930), what provisional estimates his officials have made of the proportion of take-offs from the possible Cliffe Airport that would take-off towards the east, with reference to wind direction patterns. [77831]

Mr. Jamieson

For appraisal purposes, The South East and East of England Regional Air Services study (S ERAS) assumed, for all options, that around 30% of departures would be to the east.
