German FAZ: City of Mainz fears more noise and shares against Hesse Aus009436

The resentment does not go away: The city of Mainz has a clear criticism of the new flight route concept for the Frankfurt Airport, at the Hessian Ministry of Economic Affairs, the operator Fraport and German Air Trailout (DFS). To be a waste. The Hessian Ministry of Transport in Wiesbaden rejected the criticism. Such changes are always hotly debated in the region, people are affected by aircraft noise around South Hesse and in Rhineland-Palatinate deep to Rheinhessen. If the northwest routes were used more in the future, the noise carpet over the city will continue to be extended. More or less, the municipal representatives have been more or less faced with the new operating concept, said Steinkrüger. “The Hessian Minister of Transport Kaweh Mansori (SPD) obviously has no interest in honest and transparent to inform the members of the Aircraft Noise Commission (FLK).” The confidence in the good cooperation with the state of Hesse, Fraport and the DFS is massively damaged. Other ACC members had already commented similarly. Fraport had declared that the work on the flight route concept has not yet been completed. According to its own statements, the city of Mainz will check together with the municipalities concerned in Hesse, whether the change in operations presented with the existing planning approval decision was at all compatible: “We are openly to take legal action against this procedure.” Transparency is unjustified, it itself continues to focus on the earliest possible integration of the airport rainers in the foreseeable future changes in the aircraft noise pollution “. The most affected municipalities informed, ”it said. There is still enough time “for a comprehensive examination of the effects and the exchange in the large circle”. The Hessian Ministry of Transport is happy to discuss the discussion, for which there is the opportunity on June 26 at a special meeting of the Aircraft Noise Commission in Raunheim.
