REDUCING THE IMPACT OF AIRCRAFT NOISE - AN AIRPORT VIEWPOINT

The policy on aircraft noise of the international airport association coordinating council is summarized. The associations viewpoint on noise reduction stresses the following points; a firm schedule for the implementation of a retrofit program; programs for meeting the financial burden of the retrofit program; the retirement of older aircraft as an alternative to retrofit; reinforcement of annex 16 to the convention on civil aviation; the creation of noise zones around airports; and the institution of special night noise abatement procedures.
