Choice of runway minimises noise pollution
The aim is to handle traffic so that as few people as possible are
living in the area affected by aircraft noise. At night-time, landings
are primarily made using runway 2 (15) from the northwest,
i.e. from the direction of Nurmijärvi, and take-offs using runway 3
(22R) towards the southwest, in the direction of western Vantaa
and Espoo. Jet plane landings on runway 2 (33) from the southeast
and take-offs from runway 2 (15) towards the southeast are
avoided due to the dense population in the affected areas. At
night-time, operations towards the southeast are also prohibited,
unless otherwise dictated by air traffic safety. Air traffic safety is
the main reason for not always being able to choose the optimal
runway for noise control.
In 2016, 22 per cent of all landings and 42 per cent of night-time
(10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) landings used the primary landing direction, i.e.
runway 2 (15). This direction was used less frequently than in the
previous years, which was due to wind conditions and the restricted
use of runway 2 between January and May. A total of 62 per cent
of all take-offs and 73 per cent of night-time take-offs used the
primary take-off direction, i.e. runway 3 (22R). Only 5 per cent of
take-offs were towards the southeast.
