Introduction Company profile and strategyService portfolio Communication and social responsibilityIn our office buildings, we introduced four-segmentwaste bins in 2008 to encourage staff to separatepaper, mixed recoverables, organic waste and residualwaste at source and thus help streamline the recyclingprocess.Under EU regulations 1 , food waste from aircraft servinginternational destinations is classed as category 1high-risk material, even when combined with otherwaste collected during cabin cleaning, and may onlybe disposed of in registered waste incineration plants.Following a decision by a local Erding-based organizationspecializing in animal carcass disposal, we putout a new tender for mixed-waste incineration services,and in January 2011 a specialist waste operatorwas contracted to organize and carry out the disposalprocess. Food waste is incinerated in Munich’s thermalpower plant, an accredited disposal facility.Hazmat controls and trainingAt Munich Airport, our operations involve a number ofmaterials that are potentially harmful to the environmentand water supplies and so have to be moved offsite. These materials must be marked as hazardousduring transportation. We as a company are subjectto the same regulations as other organizations involvedin transporting hazardous goods by rail, roador air and are thus required by law to have at least onehazardous materials supervisor. Flughafen MünchenGmbH appointed its first hazmat officer in 2007; however,from June 15, 2011, we outsourced this role tothe company DEKRA Automobil GmbH, as permittedunder the provisions of Sections 1–8 of Germany’sHazardous Materials Officer Ordinance. During thecourse of 2011, 144 metric tons of waste classed ashazardous material were transported from the airportfor disposal, compared to around 156 tons in 2010.As in prior years, we conducted spot checks in 2011on the vehicles used to transport hazardous substancesto ensure that they were up to code. We identifiednone that were unroadworthy or not fully operational.We also provided employees with regular training onhandling hazardous substances in accordance withstatutory requirements.In 2011, no penalties or fines were issued on accountof improper handling of hazardous materials, nor werethere any accidents involving hazardous substances,such as oil, fuel or chemicals.1Regulation (EC) 1069/2009, October 21, 2009 (Official Journal of the EuropeanUnion L 300)104
Workforce and work environmentEnvironmental and climate protectionP Climate strategyq Resource stewardshipq Noise controlp BiodiversityFinancial reviewSustainable developmentNoise controlSignificant reduction in noise levelsSince the advent of jet engines in commercial aviationmore than 40 years ago, aircraft noise levels duringtakeoff and landing operations have been cut by al -most 90 percent, thanks largely to low-emission enginetechnology and improved aerodynamics. Aircrafttypes undergo noise certification based on a set ofrules issued by the ) International Civil AviationOrganization (ICAO). These rules are applied by aviationauthorities issuing traffic permits and ) typecertificates to new aircraft and require that planeshave a valid noise certificate.The most recent and stringent noise limits for jet andpropeller aircraft were set in September 2001. All aircrafttype-certified after January 1, 2006, are requiredto comply with these limits. This requirement and theban imposed on noisy aircraft in Europe in 2002 haveled to a significant improvement in the aviation noisesituation.A joint aim: Further reductions in aircraftnoiseThe Commission on Aviation Noise and Air Pollutionat Munich Airport is a body formed to promote a con -tinued reduction in aircraft noise. The Commission ismade up of representatives of the airport, air trafficcontrol operator Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS),the airlines, the local region and government offices,and meets at regular intervals. Parallel to these meetings,members are also in constant contact on aviationnoise issues. The members of the Commission havevarious means of managing noise – DFS through care -ful planning of arrival and departure procedures, theairlines through efforts to reduce fleets’ noise emissions(be it for economic or environmental reasons),and Flughafen München GmbH through the implementationof statutory regulations and requirementsconcerning aviation noise, among other things.Active noise mitigationTo reduce the impact of aviation noise on the airport’sneighboring communities, FMG is committed to doingmore than just fulfill statutory regulations to improvethe noise situation. We are currently discussing andreviewing a number of active anti-noise measures –such as noise avoidance and reduction at source andredistribution of noise – which could help diminishnoise impacts, even in instances where the de factobenefits might only be small. These measures includeoptimizing aircraft departure procedures (by introducingsteeper climb-outs), making greater use of the) Continuous Descent Approach method, whichis quieter than conventional landing approaches, andchanging the approach slope angle so that planes areat higher altitudes when they fly over the airport’swider surrounding area. Other options are to alterair routes to ease the noise burden on individual locationsand settlements, optimize runway use to limitnoise impacts, especially at night, promote advancementsin aircraft engine design, and retrofit aircraftfleets.All of these potential measures, which require carefulconsideration by Flughafen München GmbH, airtraffic control and the noise commission, only makesense if they can be implemented multilaterally andcan genuinely deliver improvements for airport neighbors.Aviation noise levels unchangedIn spite of a 5.1 percent rise in aircraft movementscompared to 2010, around half of the ) continuoussound levels (daytime Leq3 and night time Leq3) recordedat four measuring stations on our main departureroutes during the busiest six months of the yearwere essentially the same, year on year. Differenceswere largely due to the fact that more planes took offin an easterly direction in 2011 than in 2010.) www.munich-airport.com/aircraft-noise) Glossary) Glossary) Glossary) Glossary105
