Gesetzgeberische Handlungsspielräume zur Stärkung des aktiven Schallschutzes im Luftverkehrsrecht

Air traffic law deals with noise emissions primarily by means of passive noise protection. Active noise abatement, which starts at the source of emissions, is not given precedence in air traffic approval procedures. The study examines how the legal basis for aviation licensing and for the definition of flight procedures can be strengthened with regard to active noise abatement measures. To this end, it analyzes the scope for action under constitutional, Union and international law and considers all relevant planning levels, including regional planning, urban land use planning and sectoral planning.
