Noise

By closing the inner-city airports Tegel and Tempelhof hundreds of thousands of citizens in the region will be permanently relieved from aircraft noise. Around Schoenefeld Airport, on the other hand, the noise from aircraft will increase with the expansion.

To guarantee the Schoenefeld neighbors the greatest possible protection, the BBI planners are exceeding the current legal regulations and applying more rigid limits which are being discussed in the revision of the Aircraft Noise Act.

Noise Hazard Area: In the so-called noise hazard areas, the threshold values for the beginning of a health hazard may be attained or exceeded. The Schoenefeld neighbors are not affected by this. The noise hazard area is solely within the property of the airport itself. Special regulations apply for airport employees.
