Thanks for the info Captain.

Really interesting to see how the number of flights is growing. Last year there was 617 flights per week and this winter time it'll be 655. That's like 7% extra flights.

Can you see/hear the difference, living in Caleta? I remember to hear the planes a bit earlier on Friday mornings (and/or Sundays?) a couple of months ago to allow earlier flights from Gran Canaria. I usually use them instead of alarm so it sort of extended our days.

Our villa is almost under the landing flight path and as 90% of the time planes land from over Caleta we get the majority of planes coming in.  The Inter Island puddle hoppers are always the first to come in every morning and I can't recall ever getting that alarm call before 7.20am.

Are the planes an issue ?    Not really

If all planes landed from the south over Caleta that is 666 per week and the airport lets say is open for landings 15hrs a day that is 105hrs per week 6300minutes therefore that would be a plane landing ever 9.5minutes somewhat quieter than Heathrow
