At Austrian, we work together with Vienna Airport and Austro Control to reduce levels of noise produced by operational procedures. Much of the noise avoidance work is done within the framework of the Vienna Airport Dialogue Forum. This communications platform was founded in 2005 by the participants in the mediation process surrounding construction of the third runway. The regions of Lower Austria, Vienna and Burgenland take part in the Dialogue Forum, alongside local residents’ associations and citizens’ initiatives, Vienna Airport and Austrian Airlines. Participants in the Dialogue Forum work together to design aircraft flight routes producing the lowest levels of noise that are both economical and environmentally-friendly.
