With growing protests over noise pollution caused by flights, aviation experts today suggested that airport regulator AERA should insist on measures by airport operators to reduce the decibel levels to tolerable limits.
"The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) should see that airport operators insulate noise emanating from airports", Ajay Kumar, an aviation specialist of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), said here.
He said the American government enacted large number of legislative controls to check noise pollution since 1960s.
The laws ensured that while better operating procedures were in place, a whole range of aviation activities carried out by aircraft designers, plane and engine manufacturers and operators adhere to rules to reduce decibel levels.
Addressing a workshop on aviation environment and noise pollution organised by the Aeronautical Society of India, Kumar and other experts spoke about regulations put in place by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and measures undertaken by airport and airline operators.
