Environmental impacts

Noise exposure

We fully acknowledge that the daily airport operations can generate a noise nuisance for our surroundings and we work actively to minimise the nuisance as best possible.

Minimising the noise nuisance

Copenhagen Airports' environmental permit sets out a number of requirements governing noise from our activities. However, we are committed to working beyond regulatory demands, as we want to operate the airport responsibly and with consideration for both our local environment and local community, through our efforts to minimise noise pollution from airport activities where possible.

We work relentlessly to mitigate the noise nuisance through our own initiatives as well as by aiding and following the development of new technologies. We have set ambitious targets towards 2050 and our collaboration with airlines is an essential measure in achieving them, as the airlines' investment in newer and more effective aircraft is a significant contributor to noise reduction.

Continued mitigation efforts

Along with operating airlines, partners and the air traffic management agency Naviair, we continue to try out new measures such as adjusted take-off procedures to reduce neighbours' noise exposure.

Constant monitoring of noise levels

We keep monitoring the noise levels, using both our 12 permanent monitoring stations and mobile noise monitoring units placed as requested by neighbours, meeting all regulatory requirements.
