Linke highlights aircraft noise at Berlin Brandenburg Airport
The Left Party has drawn attention to the increasing aircraft noise at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). In a press release on Wednesday, the parliamentary group demanded immediate measures to reduce the noise pollution.
According to the Left Party, the noise levels at BER have increased significantly since the opening of the airport in October 2020. The party referred to a study by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), which found that the number of people affected by aircraft noise in the vicinity of the airport has increased from 10,000 to 50,000.
The Left Party blamed the noise pollution on the inefficient flight operations at BER. The party pointed out that the airport was not designed to handle the current volume of traffic. The Left Party also criticized the lack of noise protection measures, such as the construction of noise barriers.
The parliamentary group demanded immediate action to reduce the noise pollution at BER. The Left Party called for a reduction in the number of flights, a more efficient use of airspace, and the construction of noise protection measures.
The Left Party also called on the Brandenburg state government to take responsibility for the noise pollution. The party demanded that the state government provide financial support for noise protection measures and compensate those affected by the noise.
The Left Party’s demands are supported by the citizens’ initiative “No More Aircraft Noise at BER”. The initiative has been campaigning for years for a reduction in aircraft noise at the airport.
The Brandenburg state government has so far rejected the demands of the Left Party and the citizens’ initiative. The state government argues that the noise pollution at BER is within the legal limits. However, the Left Party and the citizens’ initiative maintain that the noise levels are unacceptable and that the state government must take action to reduce the noise pollution.
