Abstract

The concept of a balanced approach to aircraft noise management was officially introduced by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 2001. At its core is a theme of sustainable development; to allow development of air travel without adversely impacting the acoustic environment. In Europe, Regulation 598/2014 embraces this Balanced Approach and sets out a number of procedures for its implementation. For example, it requires Member States to identify competent authorities responsible for the process to be followed when adopting operating restrictions. In the case of Dublin Airport, this regulation comes at an interesting time. Dublin Airport is Ireland's largest airport and serves as a chief hub connecting Ireland to the world. Dublin Airport Authority has plans to extend the operating capacity of the airport, and in 2007 was granted planning to build a new runway. However, this planning approval was subject to certain conditions and included particular restrictions related to noise. The paper outlines how Regulation 598/2014 has influenced the development at Dublin Airport since then, and summarizes the perhaps unintentional consequences of Regulation 598/2014.
