Noise protection

Protection measures

Aviation noise can never be completely avoided around an international hub, but we want to exhaust all possibilities to keep it as low as possible.

We continually monitor aircraft noise in the region through stationary and mobile measurements.

Airlines that use quieter modern aircraft are given incentives in the form of significantly lower landing fees.

In buildings in the surrounding region, about 21,000 special windows and 20,000 ventilation systems have been installed under an extensive noise protection program. Since 1992 the airport has invested a total of 62 million euros in noise protection measures.

Mobile aircraft noise measurements

Flying connects people worldwide, but it also causes noise pollution. Aircraft noise directly affects many residents in the region, which is why reliable recording and transparent presentation of this data is so important.

Flughafen München GmbH (FMG) operates 16 stationary measuring stations for this purpose, which provide data around the clock and enable an objective picture of the noise situation. In addition, FMG voluntarily carries out mobile measurements with a self-sufficient measuring station in order to be able to respond to specific concerns of individual communities.

In addition to collecting measurement data, FMG is committed to open communication. The published results are presented in an easily understandable way, while the concerns and individual perceptions of residents are taken seriously. With a bundle of active and passive measures – from optimized flight procedures and restrictions on night flights to noise protection programs – FMG is working to significantly reduce noise pollution.
