ANCA has published a report on the effectiveness of aircraft noise mitigation at Dublin Airport
The Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA) has undertaken a review of the effectiveness of noise mitigation measures in place at Dublin Airport. ANCA defined a Noise Abatement Objective (NAO) for Dublin Airport during 2022 and this objective is based on the impact of aircraft noise across a full calendar year. This approach is aligned with the requirements of environmental noise legislation. The review report is therefore based on the full calendar year preceding the report – in this case 2021. It does not include impacts arising from the commencement of aircraft operations on the north runway during August 2022. These impacts will be incorporated into subsequent assessment reports.
