Noise Mitigation

HFG, the operator of Frankfurt Egelsbach Airport has been operating two stationary aircraft noise monitoring units since 2004.

Following the purchase of the majority of HFG-shares by NetJets, HFG introduces the Quiet Airport Programme (QAP). An integral part of the QAP is the implementation of two additional noise monitoring units in September 2009. One unit will be a static display near the airport, the other one will be a mobile unit.

The present stations are in close proximity of the runway where they measure aircraft noise. In this case, the surrounding noise (e.g., road traffic, railway, agriculture, aircraft movements of the airport of Frankfurt) will be filtered out, as much as possible. The recorded data are compiled and documented in a monthly report.
