To ensure this sharing of value with the region, Groupe ADP implements a policy organized around four themes, included in the Airports for Trust charter signed by 23 Group airports in January 2021 and the 2025 Pioneers for Trust strategy: ◆ actively contribute to improving the living environment of local populations and to reducing noise exposure; ◆ build a long-term relationship of trust with the regions and local players; ◆ make the regions the primary beneficiaries of airport activities (training, integration and employment); ◆ lead the airport community.
The purpose of an airport is not only to connect a region or a country to the rest of the world: anchored in the regions, airports also play a major role in their planning, quality of life, and economic and social development. They must therefore maintain a constant dialogue and engage with local authorities, economic players and residents. Thus, Groupe ADP pursues a real policy of economic and social cooperation in its regions, which aims in particular to share with them the benefits of airport activities both on the Parisian platforms and internationally.
4.5.1 ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCING NOISE EXPOSURE
4.5.1.1 Policy and objectives Measuring and monitoring
(CCAR) must be consulted on all issues relating to environmental impacts and noise pollution associated with the operation of Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly. Convened and chaired by the prefects, they are composed of three equal bodies: the aviation professions, regional authorities and local residential and environmental protection associations. Aéroports de Paris is responsible for the secretariat. Reduce the annoyance of noise and light pollution Noise management at the Paris region airport system relies on several tools. Firstly, restrictions are already in place at Paris-Orly and Paris Charles de Gaulle airports (curfews, and cap on slots at Paris-Orly, noise cap and cap on night time slots at Paris-Charles de Gaulle). These restrictions allow a balanced development of the Paris Region airport system while effectively controlling noise levels. In addition, Groupe ADP, in close liaison with the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), is working continuously to act on each of the pillars of the “balanced approach” as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), namely: ◆ reducing noise at source: with changes in landing fees that encourage the renewal of aircraft fleets and penalise the noisiest aircraft; ◆ land planning and management: Groupe ADP manages the noise abatement assistance system for local residents; ◆ operational procedures limiting noise: Groupe ADP contributes to the work of the air navigation services with the goal of generalising continuous descents at Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly;
Aéroports de Paris manages a laboratory that has approximately fifty permanent noise measuring stations around the Paris airports. This system makes it possible to continuously monitor aircraft noise and correlate the results with flight paths and aircraft types. These measurements are sent monthly to the Authority for Airport Nuisance Control (Acnusa) and to the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC). They are used to draw up “noise maps” on which the noise exposure plans (PEB) are based, defining the areas eligible for compensation measures. They also give rise to monthly and annual reports that are made public on the laboratory’s website. These concerns are integrated into the management of all of the airports. Noise measurement tools are also used in Zagreb, Liège, Madagascar and Amman. Informing and consulting Noise level and air quality measurements are made available to the general public on the entrevoisins.groupeadp.fr website. The Vitrail software (visualisation of aircraft trajectories and online information), which makes it possible to identify overflights, is also made available on this site. Thanks to the Itrap tool, used in conjunction with Vitrail, local residents can very easily file complaints which result in an automatically generated response in less than three hours and can identify aircraft that have committed a breach in terms of altitude, speed or flight path. In addition, the Environmental Advisory Committees (CCE) and the Advisory Committees for Assistance to Local Residents
