A report from the national directorate for environmental quality and assessment has cast doubts on plans to alter aircraft flight paths in Minorca. The directorate, part of the ministry for ecological transition, has established that the state air navigation company, Enaire, will have to submit its project to a full environmental assessment, having ruled out there being a simplified assessment procedure. There is agreement with a report presented last September by the Balearic Environment Commission which drew attention to likely "significant adverse environmental effects" from changes to the configuration of flight corridors for aircraft taking off from and coming into land at Minorca Airport.

Minorca must fight against this change to prevent airbourne pollution over its beautiful island. Also, Please please when flights start up again, stop them from flying over Pollensa, Alcudia, Andraxt & Calvia, It is so peaceful, clean & healthy without them cutting across Mallorca omitting their noise and fumes. These areas are covered in soot from these flights.
