MPS yesterday called for measures to help residents who live near the island’s two airports, who are facing a daily and nightly struggle to deal with the noise pollution.
Members of House Environment Committee called for restrictions on the number of flights allowed into and out of the airports, as well as grants from the state and from airport operator Hermes, to help residents soundproof their homes.
Committee Chairman, AKEL’s Andreas Fakontis, said a study by Hermes had shown that there were 13 homes near Larnaca airport most affected by the noise, which exceeds the legal limit of 60 decibels. However, it is not yet clear if these homes were built before or after the airport was constructed.
Airport management companies, he added, were obliged by law to carry out studies on the environmental effects of airports.
“From there on, we are a tourist country where airports are our oxygen, so it will be hard to restrict air movement,” said Fakontis. “What can be done is for the state and managing companies to take measures that will alleviate the problem.”
The Green Party’s George Perdikis, who put the matter forward for discussion, called for a law amendment to better regulate airports’ operations, as well specific measures to help the affected residents.
DISY’s Kyriacos Hadjiyiannis said there was an urgent need for consultations with the affected communities, Hermes and the state, to come up with the best possible measures.
“We are also calling for a specific plan for changes to the residents’ windows and doors with sound insulation,” said Hadjiyiannis. “This is demanded and I think the person in charge of this noise pollution should pay to fix the problem.”

Considering that there was nothing in the area when Larnaca airport got going after the invasion, didn't these moaning idiots know there was an airport there?
