Seven-hour, alternating noise break
The plant lists the changes in the operational processes that have taken place in recent years, such as the seven-hour, alternating noise break under the approach and departure lanes introduced in 2016, the so-called southern flight to relieve the communities west of the airport and those in consultation with the aviation industry Approved upper noise limit for Frankfurt Airport.
District President Brigitte Lindscheid also points out that as of April 2021, more than 10,000 applications with a total volume of more than 44 million euros had been approved for the costs of "passive noise protection", for example for soundproof windows or other insulation, to be reimbursed.
The district president believes it is necessary to further reduce aircraft noise in the region.
Currently, the number of flights at Frankfurt Airport has plummeted due to the corona pandemic.
Nevertheless, in the long term it can be assumed that the aviation industry will recover and that the airport's capacity will be fully utilized, especially with the completion of Terminal 3, albeit with a delay of several years.
