WELCOME TO CAGNE

We have an extensive network of members covering areas to the east, west, north and south of the airport concerned with the totality of aircraft noise produced by arrivals and departures, environmental issues, airspace and surface access for Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

CAGNE – Working for you

We strive to ensure that every possible effort is made by Gatwick, Government and the aviation industry to minimise aircraft noise and its impact on local communities.

We strive to achieve fact-based, fair and reasonable distribution of aircraft, thus ensuring fair and reasonably shared noise – NOT moving noise from one community to another.
