A reader writes in to complain about the noisy overhead traffic produced by light aircraft out of the Axarquía Aerodrome where they have been flying accidents.

Dear Martin, 

The Problem of the noise Airplanes from Vélez-Málaga Flight Schools One Air and Aerodynamics has increased substantially. 

They also now circling over Almuñécar and Nerja ( densely populated towns) as well and this from Sunrise till Sunset. 

I have talked to many residents and everybody is bothered by that constant Engine sound in the air. 

The Nature Park as well as the whole coastline are not the same in respect to tranquility any more. 

In addition to the noise they are also a threat to safety as their frequent crashes show. 

I think it needs a campaign to prevent this development which also affects the tourism (I dont understand why the responsible Managers are not getting active) 

I will send you some of the resent infos from flightradar for your information as well as articles about the crashes and hope you could help in make more people aware that its not a problem thats unsolvable. 

Best regards

Frederic Messinger
