The number of people filing complaints about noise levels from aircraft at Dublin Airport has increased five-fold
An analysis of figures published by DAA – the operator of Dublin Airport – also reveals that flights at nighttime accounted for 73% of all noise complaints in the first six months of 2023.
However, aircraft using the North Runway accounted for 63% of all complaints in July – the latest month for which figures are available. The figure further dropped to 92% in July when a total of 735 aircraft did not adhere to the correct flight path. Excluding the figures of the “serial” complainant, the analysis shows there has still been an eight-fold increase in the number of complaints this year with 5,672 recorded up to June compared to just 704 over the same period last year.
The spokesperson said complaints which identify specific noise events as opposed to “just general complaints” were helpful in the process of identifying trends regarding flight routing or issues with particular airlines or aircraft. The report by the Aircraft Noise Competent Authority, which was established by Fingal County Council, also revealed that over 21,000 living on flight paths used by aircraft taking off and landing at Dublin Airport suffer high levels of sleep disturbance.
