(altitude, speed and flight path), along with an explanation. If they wish to, the local resident can meet with a representative of DGAC to learn about the techniques developed to reduce aircraft noise.

◆ monitoring and measurement of noise levels: at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, a restriction on night traffic and a total weighted measured noise index (IGMP) were established by regulation in 2003. Aéroports de Paris monitors noise levels through an internal laboratory and makes the information available to the public via its internet site; ◆ management of soundproofing assistance funds: differentiated landing charges on the basis of an aircraft’s noise category and the tax on air noise pollution (TNSA) also help to limit noise in that they encourage the use of quieter aircrafts and penalise night flights. The TNSA is levied by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) and its proceeds go to Aéroports de Paris, which manages soundproofing measures for the benefit of local residents. Within the framework of this procedure, Aéroports de Paris manages the applications for help with soundproofing from residents living near Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports, whose homes are within the scope of a Noise Nuisance Plan (PGS). Aéroports de Paris receives new requests for help, investigates them, passes them on to the relevant local committees, which are consulted on the allocation of grants, and pays out the grants allocated to local residents for noise assessment and soundproofing work. In view of its airport activity, Aéroports de Paris benefits from exemptions to the application of light pollution regulations. Achievements and results From 2013 to 2018, Aéroports de Paris took part in the Night Flights working group presided by the prefect, Régis Guyot. This work conducted jointly with the airlines and neighbourhood associations resulted in: ◆ the 24H generalisation by 2023/2024 of the continuous descent procedure (trialled since September 2016 between 00.00 and 05.30 am); ◆ the modified aerodynamics of the Airbus A320, which has halved the noise pollution produced by this plane, which is the most common aircraft on the runways at Paris-Charles de Gaulle; ◆ the change in the preferential configuration opening up the possibility of landing with a tailwind in certain circumstances; ◆ new rules, published on the internet site entrevoisins.org, with alternating runway pairs (night closure on three to four days a week per runway pair). Local residents are entitled to free assistance for soundproofing works. They are supported through all stages of their project by a dedicated service which is part of the aid programme. Computerisation has improved data processing and traceability whilst eliminating paper documents. Staff have been available to assist local residents on one day per month at the soundproofing assistance service in the North and South Environment Resource Centres since October 2019. A hotline has also been set up (0805 38 36 88). Aéroports de Paris also makes available to the public the Vitrail tool to view aircraft flight paths and access information online. Vitrail is available in the Maisons de l’environnement et du développement durable (Environment and Sustainable Development Resource Centres) at Paris-Orly and Paris- Charles de Gaulle, and directly online. Linked to Vitrail, an IT tool, Itrap, improves the quality of claim processing. In less than three hours, this tool collects and processes complaints from local residents relating to noise from planes and is quicker to send them information on a possible breach

Dialogue with local residents Policy and objectives

Aéroports de Paris maintains an on-going dialogue with local residents through numerous partnerships and the provision of tools, mainly online services. The forms of dialogue are described in the “Aéroports de Paris’ CSR approach” chapter in this report. To best meet the expectations of its many varied stakeholders, Aéroports de Paris is supported by the regional delegations within its Environment, CSR and Regions Division: these meet local residents, elected officials, associations, school groups, etc. A website dedicated to this dialogue is currently being improved: www.entrevoisins.org. Within these delegations, two Maisons de l’environnement et du développement durable (Environment and Sustainable Development Resource Centres – MEDD), one for Paris-Orly, the other for Paris-Charles de Gaulle, bring Aéroports de Paris and local populations closer together through exhibitions, educational seminars, forums and conferences on cultural, economic, environmental and social themes, as well as through meetings and discussions between consultation bodies, etc. Aéroports de Paris is also responsible for the secretariat of the Consultative Environment Commissions (CCE) and Consultative Commissions for Aid to Local Residents (CCAR), favoured tools for consulting with populations local to the airports. The CCE must be consulted on any important matter relating to airport operational incidents in areas affected by noise pollution. Aéroports de Paris also exercises its societal responsibility by engaging in partnerships with the socio-economic actors in major airport areas, with political, consular or association representatives, and with French government services. Achievements and results In order to present the future Terminal 4 project at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Aéroports de Paris voluntarily launched a public consultation under the responsibility of the National Public Debate Commission in spring 2019. External stakeholders were able to directly communicate their remarks during the 85 events organised (including 10 public meetings) or in writing via the website. Legal entities (local authorities, associations, etc.) could also make written contributions via participant documents. In total, over 6,000 people took part. In the consultation report, published on 26 July 2019, Aéroports de Paris made 29 commitments on noise, the environment, climate, employment and training, economic development, integration, platform accessibility and project monitoring, as a result of the consultation. As part of the reconstruction work on runway 3 (now called runway 07-25) at Paris-Orly, Aéroports de Paris presented information on site progress before and during the work to local residents impacted by the changes in approach trajectories for aircrafts, through a major information and communication programme (leaflets and over 580,000 information letters sent, letters, 18 public meetings, over 30 bilateral meetings with elected officials increasing staff in the South Environment Resource
