Airport operators, as well as Air Navigation Service providers (ANSPs), can
reduce aviation noise levels. While ANSPs can specify aircraft flight paths, airport
operator coordinate and align operations to achieve noise mitigation measures.
Noise abatement solutions for aviation operation include:
• Adopting procedures like continuous descent operations and low drag, lowpower techniques
• Associating noise with landing fees (reduced landing fee for quite air craft, and/
or higher fees for operations during night)
• Concentrating flights over areas that are less sensitive to noise or unpopulated
areas
• Flying over some areas on certain days and other areas on other days
• Noise preferred routes (NPR)
• Noise reduction take-off procedures like management of engine power at the
time of departure
• Restrictions on use of ground equipment and/or engine run-ups
