  • Making Aviation and Airport(S) More Sustainable: a 12 Point Plan 1
    Making aviation and airport(s) more sustainable: a 12 point plan 1. Who we are, what drives us? 2. 12 point plan: our proposal for making aviation and airport(s) more sustainable 3. Our demands Who we are, what Burgerforum Luchthavenregio: bundling of 3 residential communities drives us? and committed citizens from townships bordering Brussels Airport (Kortenberg, Steenokkerzeel, Sterrebeek/Zaventem), with support from Natuurpunt ➢ We are not against the airport and flying but against unrestrained growth and airport expansion. ➢ Rapidly growing impact of aviation on climate must stop. ➢ Airport must develop sustainably and can be achieved within existing infrastructure. ➢ Support will only be possible if quality of life of residents and airport region remains assured. ➢ No expansion nor shift of the airport to the East, away from Brussels. Purpose of our 12 point plan ➢ Building support for making aviation and airports sustainable ➢ Clear commitment in political party programmes in the run up to European, Federal and Regional elections in May 2019 ➢ Stop NIMBY (Not-in-my-backyard). 12 point plan in a nutshell 1. Cap aviation emissions 2. Smart levies 3. Quieter planes 4. Noise norms 5. Test run inside hangars 6. No further increase in peaks 7. Cap flight movements 8. Abolish night flights 9. Lock historic preferential runway use 10.Strategic vision aviation sector 11.Global mobility plan 12.Cooperation and connectivity between airports 1. Cap (fast-growing) aviation emissions What we demand ➢Emission norms for all aircraft types: CO2, nitrogen oxides (Nox), (ultra-) fine particles (treat aircraft = ‘flying chimney’) ➢ ICAO must make public CO2 classification of all plane categories! ➢Airport emission: based on all fuel sold at the airport (treat airport = factory of ‘flying chimneys’) ➢Embedded in climate/environmental goals and plans (bunker fuels are part of EU commitment (NDC’s) of the EU) 2.
