New Noise Protection Zones for Erfurt Airport (ERF)

Erfurt (Jun23rd) – The noise protection zones for Erfurt airport (ERF) will be extended. As the airport said in a press release on Monday, the new zones will mean more owners of houses will be able to claim subsidies for the installation of noise protection devices. Whilst the new day-zone 1 will not include any homesteads some buildings will fall under the jurisdiction of the new night-protection-zone.

The airport emphasized that under the current noise protection regime most of the houses in questions already had received noise protection and that the number of new installations will be marginal. Residents can inform themselves at the local authorities or the airport company about the new scheme.  Proper noise protection is imminent under European and national laws to extend traffic slots or night flight times at ERF.
