Green criticize change plans for aircraft noise

The Greens see the credibility of Hessian airport policy at the game in view of the plans for the redistribution of aircraft noise around Frankfurt. When expanding the airport, it was promised to avoid a double burden on the most affected municipalities, explains the state association. This promise is broken with the newly planned departure routes towards Taunus.

Evening flights would be reinforced. « In addition, the redistribution of aircraft noise was planned without those affected, » criticized the state chairman Anna Lührmann and Julia Frank.

For maximizing flights

The Greens call on the Hessian Minister of Transport Kaweh Mansori (SPD) to prove that the plans are compatible with the planning approval decision for the expansion, which also laid down regulations on flying noise.

It could not be that the affected people in the airport region and regardless of the climate and the environment would be promoted to maximize starts and landings, according to the statement.

The airport operator Fraport and German Air Trailer (DFS) recently announced that more aircraft should take off towards the northwest in the future. The changes affect departure at flight operations in the west company direction, which is flown to around 70 percent of the days in Frankfurt. The background is an increasing number of flight movements that are expected by 2033.
