A DISGRUNTLED Warrington resident has reached new heights when it comes to complaining after submitting 842 noise complaints to Liverpool Airport in one day.
The complaints were received on October 6 last year and meant the man would have to have emailed the airport on average every 102 seconds without a break to sleep.
On several other days he has contacted the airport more than 200 times in the space of 24 hours.
The figures came to light in a recent report from John Lennon Airport (JLA) which also revealed the airport had been bombarded with 16,000 complaints from the same man between July 2018 and March 2019.
During the first three months of 2019 he was responsible for all but six of the 5,507 complaints about noise made to the airport.
And in 2018 he lodged a total number of 10,906 recorded grievances.
Due to the large number, the airport now separates the unnamed man's complaints from others and has stopped responding to them.
A report to the airport's consultative committee said the complaints were 'disproportionate' to the problem and that a lot of the complaints were not actually related to noise at the airport.
It also added attempts by airport staff to get in touch with 'the unidentified Warrington individual' have so far failed.
The airport has now decided they will continue to record and report the number of complaints from the person but would not investigate them.

An JLA spokesman said: ”The individual concerned who lives approximately 10 miles from the Airport in Warrington, has made in excess of 800 complaints in a single day, at times when there are in fact less than 200 aircraft movements either to or from Liverpool.
”Many of these complaints relate to aircraft not even operating via here and whilst staff from the Airport’s Environment department have visited this individual to discuss these complaints, this individual has chosen not to engage with airport colleagues.”
