Airport nuisances: vigilance on night flights and business jets

In this text, consulted by AFP before its presentation to the government on Monday, the independent authority (Acnusa), notes better compliance with environmental rules (noise and air pollution) by the major airlines last year: they made the subject of 0.92 prosecution for 10,000 movements (take-offs and landings) against 1.5 in 2019, the last year before the health crisis.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which torpedoed passenger traffic, on the other hand had the effect of boosting air freight, a phenomenon evident for example at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle.

Regulatory limits on the number of night movements (from midnight to 5:30 a.m.) could be exceeded there once passenger traffic to Asia, currently sluggish, picks up in volume, a reason for “great vigilance“because it would be a”knife stroke in the confidence of local authorities and populations“, warned the president of Acnusa, Gilles Leblanc, in an interview with AFP: reducing their footprint constitutes “a major challenge and issue“.
