Air noise has an impact that goes well beyond the airport. However, this is a matter for the Federal Government over which Brussels Airport has no power. Quite a few measures have been and continue to be put in place to cut down air noise. For one thing, there is a flying ban in place for the noisiest aircrafts, based on quota count restrictions. A “silent weekend nights” policy is applicable at Brussels Airport Company whereby we make sure that the greater the noise impact of an aircraft, the more expensive the landing and departure fees are.
