Workforce <strong>and</strong> work environmentEnvironmental <strong>and</strong> climate protectionP Climate strategyP Resource stewardshipq Noise controlp BiodiversityFinancial reviewSustainable developmentIn 2011, we conducted seven sets of mobile measurementsover a total of 278 days. For the first time, theseincluded the towns of Hochbrück, Gelting <strong>and</strong> Kirchseeon.Repeat measurements were taken at sites inHaimhausen, Eittingermoos, Buch am Erlbach, <strong>and</strong>Grünbach, allowing us to document changes in theirnoise levels.Noise quota use: 69 percentThe night-flight curfew in force at Munich Airport in -cludes a noise quota computed on the basis of aircrafttypes <strong>and</strong> sizes <strong>and</strong> the number of aircraft movements.In 2011 we used up 69 percent of our allotted quota.During the year, the permitted average nighttime continuoussound level of 50 dB(A) was never exceededat any point where flight paths intersect the perimeterof the combined daytime <strong>and</strong> nighttime noisecontrol zone.Emissions-based l<strong>and</strong>ing feesParallel to its noise-dependent charges, FlughafenMünchen GmbH introduced emissions-based l<strong>and</strong>ingfees on January 1, 2008. The purpose of this feepolicy is to reduce the amounts of ) nitrogen oxides<strong>and</strong> uncombusted hydrocarbons emitted by aircraftengines. This is making a significant contribution tobetter local air quality in the area around the airportwhile creating a long-term incentive for engine <strong>and</strong>aircraft makers to invest more in the development oflow-emission aircraft.)

To ensure meaningfulresults, stations named after their nearest town or village are located as close as possible to flight paths <strong>and</strong> residential buildings.107
