As a result of this change, local residents in the villages of Barton Bendish, Beachamwell and Fincham may notice a change to the usual flight pattern, with aircraft flying to the south of these villages during the works.
These works are expected to continue until the autumn, after which normal runway operations and flight patterns will resume.
