Protection measures

Aircraft noise can never be completely avoided around an international hub. However, we are doing everything we can to keep it to a minimum. Here are a few examples:

We continuously monitor aircraft noise in the region using stationary and mobile noise measurement devices.

We encourage airlines that use modern, quieter aircraft by offering them significantly lower charges. Active measures against aircraft noise

As part of a comprehensive passive noise protection program, around 21,000 soundproof windows and around 20,000 fans have been installed in buildings in the surrounding area. Since 1992, the airport has invested a total of €62 million in noise protection measures. Passive noise protection

Aircraft noise measurement

For many years, Munich Airport has been determining and publishing acoustic measurements and parameters, including both individual and continuous noise levels. We carry out these aircraft noise measurements in order to objectively record the actual noise pollution in accordance with the Air Traffic Act (LuftVG). The results from our stationary and mobile measuring stations are presented transparently online together with traffic data.
