Protest against aircraft noise: Decision about the new route in Stuttgart is coming up!

At Stuttgart Airport, it is boiling: A new flight route ensures profound conflicts and symptoms among the residents. Flights towards the south cause considerable noise in the affected communities, which has mobilized numerous citizens. The aircraft noise commission has now proposed a compromise that is intended to provide that this route will no longer be flown between 6 and 8 a.m. According to Esslinger Zeitung this proposal is not binding, and the final decision is located at the Federal Air Traffic Control Office (BAF).

The citizens' initiative "United against aircraft noise" has vehemently spoken out against the new route. Her spokesman Rolf Keck in the Swabian It will continue: "We will not let up in the protest and become quiet." Even before the last meeting of the aircraft noise commission, the initiators had sent 7,500 postcards to decision -makers such as Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann and Minister of Transport Winfried Hermann in order to make their view clear. This action shows the clear rejection of the new route.

The BAF had decided in the summer to maintain the route after a year of trial operation, despite the commission's concerns. However, this does not stop many residents from further increasing the pressure on those responsible. The discussion about the aircraft noise problem remains highly topical, and the upcoming decisions of the BAF are eagerly awaited. The affected communities around the airport, including Denkendorf, Neuhausen and Aichtal, could be directly affected by a decision by the BAF, while the citizens' initiative tirelessly fights for their cause.
