1. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation A European Perspective on Noise Ingemar Skogö April 9-11, 2001

2. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation Structure · Environmental context in Europe · Current policy and impact at our airports · Challenge for the future · Way forward April 9-11, 2001

3. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation • Environmental context in Europe • · Population density • · Demands for air traffic and environmental protection • · Sustainable development of transport • · Action to tackle noise from all modes • · Measures on aircraft noise April 9-11, 2001

4. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation • Current policy and impact at our airports 1 • · ECAC goal stabilise or reduce numbers of people affected by • noise • · Measures from the “balanced programme” already used: • - follow ICAO standards • - noise abatement procedures widely applied • - land-use planning measures highly developed • - led to successfully negotiating agreement for Chapter 2 operating restrictions, and European industry has invested wisely in its future to deliver benefits • · Charging to provide additional incentives with common European framework developed, based on certification data April 9-11, 2001

5. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation • Current policy and impact at our airports 2 · Achieved major reductions in size of noise contours and number of people affected · Further improvements expected through to 2002; ·But growth in numbers of flights and number of passengers already difficult to accommodate · Continuing demand for maintaining and improving environmental standards April 9-11, 2001

6. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation Challenge for the future 1 · Demand set to grow at 4% per annum · “Constraints to growth” study (2001) confirms critical position over airport capacity · Benefits of Chapter 2 phase-out likely to be heavily eroded April 9-11, 2001

7. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation April 9-11, 2001

8. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation April 9-11, 2001

9. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation Challenge for the future 3 · Noise, a key issue in developing new infrastructure · High costs and strong opposition from local populations · Development depends on continuing progress on noise · Implications for all carriers April 9-11, 2001

10. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation • Way forward 1 • · The challenge after 2002 - welcome CAEP/5 recommendation, but it will not even stabilise the position at major airports April 9-11, 2001

11. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation • Way forward 2 • Where ICAO can help now • · Action to tackle growth of contours now • - need operating restrictions against marginal Chapter 3 aircraft; • - harmonised arrangements preferred; and • - alternative of proliferation of local rules would be unwelcome to all. • · Need to strengthen the influence of standards on design: • - recognise these will be longer term benefits; • - but can our industry needs quiet evolution and wait another 20-30 years for change April 9-11, 2001

12. Colloquium on Environmental Aspects of Aviation • Conclusions • · A collective problem • · Sustainability key to the development of aviation • · Success of the industry demands continuing effort on noise · Europe ready to play its part through negotiations and technical work · ICAO has important potential contributions: on standards and operating restrictions April 9-11, 2001
