World Growth

In 2000 - MSP had 36,751,632 Passengers

In 2000 - MSP had 523,146 Operations

Project very strong growth

In 2010

MSP = 40,000,000

U.S. = 1,000,000,000 World = 2,500,000,000

Severe noise problems limit development

Continuing Controversy

Limits Airport Development

Extensive Master Plans, public inquiries

and environmental reviews required. Can take decades to obtain approvals.

Not just in North America

Throughout the world

U.S.Airport expectations in

1990 Hushkits would be used to comply with

Chapter 3 - mainly by cargo carriers

Higher fuel prices would drive

replacement of older aircraft

DC9, 727 & classic 737 would largely

be replaced in passenger service

Benefit of Replacing

Noisiest Stage 3 Aircraft at MSP


13/19

ACI-NA Survey- 62% of airport directorsfind noise a serious problem

ACI-NA Survey - 77% of airports in favor of

early retirement of noisiest aircraft

U.S.General Accounting Office report - 50largest airports say noise is biggest concern


14/19

ICAO is the Proper Venue CAEP historic role recommending new

certification standards

Recommended new Chapter 4 standard

Recommended the Balanced Approach

Source Noise Reduction

Operating Procedures

Land Use Planning/Zoning

Operating Restrictions

Did not recommend phase-out of noisy

Chapter 3


15/19

ACI Position at CAEP/5

Adopt new Stage 4 standard 14 dB quieter

than Chapter 3 Phase out noisiest Chapter 3 aircraft

those within 5dB of Stage 3 in 5 years

Interim support of operating restrictions atnoise sensitive airports


16/19

CAEP/5 Conclusion:

Phase Out Not Feasible Removal from registry

Applied world wide or regionally is

very expensive

Affected all aircraft within target levels

(8, 11 or 14 dB)

Did not achieve consensus at CAEP/5


17/19

However, an International Solution

Must be Found To reinforce the Balanced Approach

To provide targeted relief at noise

sensitive airports

To resolve problems of disparate local

or regional regulations

To permit airport capacity development


18/19

ICAO Sanctioned Airport Operating

Restrictions

Avoids proliferation of different rules

Only applied to noise-sensitive airports

Affects only aircraft within 5dB

No removal from registry

5 year phased reduction in operations 25 year or cycles-based life guarantee

Explicitly recognize developing nations

Consistent with Balanced Approach


19/19

ICAO Can Help Provide Solution

Internationally defined restrictions

Adopted locally

Part of Balanced Approach
