Ten-point program

Fraport has agreed to a ten-point program to accompany the Frankfurt Main airport expansion and to achieve the following objectives:

- Use of other locations, such as Frankfurt-Hahn Airport;

- Encourage use of other modes of transport,
  particularly the railways;

- Self-imposed limits set by the airlines for night flights,
  waiver of planned scheduled flights,
  restriction of the number of holiday and cargo flights
  whilst optimizing daytime capacity;

- Evaluate moving the night-time airmail service,
  i.e. to Frankfurt-Hahn airport or to
  another location;

- Commitment to introduce and use particularly
  quiet landing and take-off methods at night;

- Make funds available for a noise abatement
  program for areas particularly affected by noise;

- Link landing charges to actual noise measured;

- Even higher financial charges for night-time
  aircraft movements;

- Further improvement of monitoring aircraft noise;

- Set up an info-telephone for citizens’ questions on
  the topics of noise and the airport expansion
