5.4 Noise Chart 5.4.1
Map of Flight Paths and Locations of Noise Monitoring
Aircraft noise is one of the main environmental Terminals (NMTs)
challenges associated with airport operations; hence,
noise abatement is an essential element of AIA’s
corporate environmental strategy. AIA addresses noise
issues responsibly by taking measures aiming to reduce
annoyance to the neighbours to a minimum.

AIA has installed a NOise MOnitoring System (NOMOS)
consisting of 10 permanent and 1 mobile Noise Monitoring
Terminals (ΝΜΤs) which provide a detailed profile of the
noise pattern for the residential areas along flight routes.
This system is connected with the HCAA radar so that
correlations can be made based on the actual flight track
information.

Since airport opening, in collaboration with HCAA
and other state entities, airlines and representatives
from the local communities, AIA has defined Noise
Abatement Procedures for the reduction of noise levels
in the residential areas around the airport and along
flight paths. The Airport Strategic Noise Map (SNM) was
revised in 2012 in accordance with the requirements
of the relevant European and national legislation, the
results of which indicate that no revision of the relevant
action plan is required.

Since noise exposure is one of the primary environmental
aspects impacting airport vicinity residents, AIA holds
periodic meetings with representatives from local
authorities and groups. AIA has established and operates
– on a 24 hour basis- a dedicated telephone line (“We
Listen”) for concerned citizens who may further visit AIA’s
web site in order to register their complaints or request
clarifications on noise related issues. In 2012, 20 related
complaints were submitted.
