Lothian residents may be disturbed by aircraft noises at night for at least eight months as repairs are carried out to the main runway at Edinburgh airport.
BAA will begin resurfacing work on Sunday March 30th meaning that night-time flights will be forced to land on the alternate runway from Sunday to Thursday, and during the weekend on certain occasions.
This could cause problems to residents from the south and south-west of Edinburgh as well as in parts of Midlothian, West Lothian and in areas as far away as Bo'ness.
The work is scheduled to take place between the hours of 11pm and 5.45 am and although commercial flights do not operate at this time, cargo and mail flights do. The main runway
will still be used during the day.
BAA warn that the new flight routes may disturb light sleepers and people with sleeping problems.
For concerned residents, a freephone noise line has been set up on 0800 731 3397.
