The Cranford Agreement, a long-standing oral undertaking from 1952, has historically prevented flights from taking off eastwards on the northern runway at Heathrow Airport.
Heathrow Airport has maintained a practice of using its runways to reduce noise for residents, alternating usage but with significant restrictions due to historical agreements.
With plans to expand operations, Heathrow aims to enable eastbound departures from the northern runway, necessitating construction of additional noise barriers and taxiway space.
The recent planning applications submitted to Hillingdon Council highlight the airport's commitment to modernizing operations while addressing local community concerns about flight paths.
