The delegate of the Government, Pilar Bernabé, held a meeting this morning with the mayors of the municipalities affected by the noise of Valencia Airport to explain the Action Plan Against Noise (PAR).
After this meeting, the delegate stressed that the Government of Spain has demonstrated “its unequivocal commitment to the strategic infrastructures of the Valencian Community”. The government, said Bernabé, has demonstrated “its clear interest with the airport of Valencia, but also with the neighbors who live and live with that infrastructure. For this reason, “it works together and in a coordinated way to avoid the impact of noise pollution” in the neighboring municipalities and in neighborhoods in the south of Valencia.
In this regard, the Government of Spain approved the Action Plan against noise, which includes measures to encourage companies to use less noisy aircraft, so that landing and take-off operations are carried out according to criteria of minimization of the acoustic impact and, finally, to establish working groups with airport and neighboring managers and companies to study the implementation of measures to attenuate noise. This is “great news”, said the delegate, that it is the airport of Valencia “the first to develop this initiative” according to European regulations
The Ministry of Transport has submitted to the public information the Action Plan against Noise of the València Airport, which is a set of actions to mitigate the acoustic impact generated by the airport complex on the closest towns of the Horta Sud region and the neighborhoods in the south of the capital. Now the municipalities have 45 days to submit claims with which, according to Barnabas, the plan will “be enriched”.
