Environmental capacity: noise pollution at Catania-Fontanarossa international airport

Abstract

Airport capacity has widely been used as a measure of the level of performance of airport infrastructure. In the last decade or so, a new way of interpreting capacity has established itself that includes environmental compatibility, especially in terms of noise nuisance. This study initially offers an analysis of the environmental compatibility of Catania-Fontanarossa airport and then generalizes the methodology. The analysis was carried out with the aid of the integrated noise model (INM) software. This makes it possible to formalize the relationship between the four principal factors determining aircraft noise nuisance: level of noise, fleet composition, number of operations per day and affected surface. It allows the construction of abacuses showing the trend of each of the four factors, as the others vary. These abacuses can help in airport planning and management by providing a simple and quick way to handle environmental concerns especially for computing environmentally based landing/takeoff fares imposed on aircraft.
