Mr Alavanos, what you have just said is absolutely right.
That is another story, however. It is a question of seeking routes which reduce impact and, where necessary, to impose obligations on air companies in order to reduce the impact. If necessary, this must go as far as prohibiting flights; I am not saying that flights must not be prohibited. And I do not know whether it will be necessary to prohibit nocturnal flights in Athens as well.
Population, possible solutions, sound levels, and other issues indicate whether or not nocturnal flights have to be prohibited, but not the fact that they have to be prohibited in Brussels. In other words, we cannot prohibit them in Athens because they have to be prohibited in Brussels. That is what the Commission is not prepared to support.
What you have said is absolutely right, however. Routes and flight paths are extremely important, as well as ways of taking off and, as you say quite rightly, it is true that sometimes, when trying to save fuel, much more noise is produced than is necessary in normal conditions. This management is the responsibility of the airports."@en1
