The pandemic has meanwhile almost paralyzed flight operations. The aircraft noise exposure was correspondingly low in 2020, as the latest airport report published a few days ago shows.
The authority organization Region Ost, which represents the residents east of the airport in matters of aircraft noise, writes: “The drop in the number of aircraft movements by 60 percent has had a significant impact on life and the economy.” So they hope for normalization soon – also at the airport.
Disturbed 355 times at night
However, the report also shows that despite the pandemic, the night’s quiet period from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. was not always observed. This was disrupted 355 times in 2020 by aircraft. 321 of these movements took place between 11 p.m. and 11.30 p.m.
