Land Use Planning - Risk of Encroachment around Airports

Quieter Improving Land Use Planning SA working to develop new land use planning guidance to avoid new housing developments near airports potentially undoing aircraft noise improvements

Operating Restrictions Summary In line with the ICAO balanced approach, SA considers operational restrictions to be a measure of last resort The aviation industry supports the ICAO view that any proposed operating restrictions should not be applicable to aircraft that meet at least the requirements of ICAO Annex 16, vol 1, Chapter 4. The aviation industry believes that collaborative working and voluntary agreements are a more effective and responsive approach than operating restrictions but is nevertheless committed to meeting these wherever they apply. The industry wants to work with Government to develop policies and procedures that drive a move to more proactive ways of managing the impact of aircraft noise

Sustainable Aviation Continuous Descent Campaign Launch July 1 st, 2014

CDA and CDO Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) relate to continuous descent from cruising altitude. In the UK, CDO is more commonly known as Continuous Descent Approach (CDA), which typically starts from an altitude of 6,000 feet (amsl) and is thus a subset of a CDO.

Sustainable Aviation Noise Roadmap UK Government, industry regulator and local community groups have called for the industry to do more in the short term to demonstrate action to reduce noise SA Noise Roadmap 2013, Operational Improvements chapter identified CDOs as key opportunity to further mitigate noise Sustainable Aviation now championing UKwide CDO action plan CDOs are already well established in the UK but there remains ample scope for improvement especially beyond the major airports

UK historic CDO Improvement The progress demonstrated by the London airports was aided by the 2002 publication of the Arrivals Code of Practice and subsequent close monitoring and reporting of CDO. SA would like to see this high performance achieved nationwide. The CDO improvements already achieved in the UK delivered 55,497 more individual quieter arrivals in 2013 than in 2006. Between 2006 and 2013, this increase in CDO saved 5,660 tonnes fuel, worth 3.7M. There is scope to achieve the same again.

Sustainable Aviation CDO Campaign NATS, Airlines and Airports are working together to demonstrate joint industry action to tackle noise and reduce emissions. A 5% improvement in CDA across the UK will deliver: more than 30,000 individual quieter flights saving 10,000 tonnes CO 2 emissions fuel savings worth c. 2M However, given the excellent performance already at some airports, achieving 5% improvement UK-wide will require improvement of 10% or more for some airlines and airports. This requires effort to achieve it!

Programme schedule Combined simultaneous effort across ATC, Airlines and Airports A video, booklet, presentation and posters are available to support staff briefings. Comms materials distributed w/c 16 th June Campaign launch 1st July 2014 Programme will be on-going with monthly review and reporting in first six months

Requested actions Understand your role in achieving success Understand the benefits this can bring our organisation View the video and booklet and consider what you can do to help deliver CDO whenever possible Monitor and share your team s progress over the next six months For more information: www.sustainableaviation.co.uk

Noise Communication & Community Engagement Key initiative with UK airports Focus on addressing individuals perception of aircraft noise Seeks to improve relationships and trust with stakeholders affected by aircraft noise The industry recognises the trust deficit and seeks to develop proactive solutions going forwards: A review of existing community engagement methods is made Future methods of engagement are offered Barriers and opportunities for good Community engagement are explored Recommendations and industry commitments to improve Community Engagement going forwards to 2050 are provided

Aviation Industry Commitments SA members will use this Road-Map to develop best practice noise management strategies for the future The Aerospace sector will continue to invest in aircraft technology research programmes The industry will increase the use of existing operational techniques that reduce noise where safe and feasible The industry will actively contribute to improving aircraft noise guidance in local planning policy The industry will work with Government and other stakeholders to identify and resolve research gaps in noise The industry will promote open and transparent engagement with communities affected by noise, to better understand their concerns and priorities and to establish trust in the engagement process

Next steps SA will engage with members to help implement and monitor industry performance against this Noise Road-Map and report progress every 2 years SA will focus on: Developing quieter aircraft technology Adoption of operational improvements Developing the right UK policies to help reduce noise Airports to develop local noise reduction plans To define the aviation community work to reduce noise at their airport SA encourages ACC s to review their framework to improve how they work with the aviation industry on these issues moving forwards

Conclusion The UK aviation industry is fully committed to addressing its Environmental impacts We have and will continue to work collaboratively building on our excellent track record Airports play a vital role and we look forward to continuing to work together to earn our licence to grow Join us in supporting the CDO Campaign

Smarter Investing in new aircraft British Airways In April 2013, International Airlines Group and British Airways signed a memorandum of understanding to buy 18 A350-1000 aircraft. The A350-1000 offers a 25 per cent step change in fuel efficiency compared to its current longrange competitor. September 2013 introduction of the B787 and A380 into the BA fleet

Smarter Investing in new aircraft easyjet In 2013 easyjet announced that it has entered into arrangements with Airbus to acquire 35 current generation A320 aircraft for delivery between 2015 and 2017 and 100 new generation A320neo aircraft for delivery from 2017 until 2022

Smarter Investing in new aircraft Thomson Airways From February 2011 Thomson Airways, commenced the replacement of a third of the airline fleet with 22 Boeing 737-800 aircraft They are now taking delivery of eight Boeing 787 Dreamliners In June 2013 TUI travel also announced an order for 60 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with an option for 90 more, for delivery between January 2018 and March 2023

Smarter Investing in new aircraft Virgin Atlantic During 2012 Virgin Atlantic saw entry into service of 10 A330-300 aircraft, which are at least 9% more fuel (and therefore CO2) efficient on a per-trip basis than the aircraft they have replaced, and 15% more efficient on a per seat basis. From Autumn 2014, Virgin Atlantic will be welcoming the first of 16 Boeing 787-900 Dreamliners into their fleet. These aircraft will be around 25% more efficient per trip and 27% more efficient on a per seat basis than similar-sized aircraft.
