Nantes Atlantique Airport

Country: France
Customer: Nantes Atlantique Airport
Application: Noise monitoring

The Challenge

As a major airport in France, Nantes Atlantique Airport faces the ongoing challenge of balancing operational efficiency with environmental responsibility. Aircraft noise is a significant concern for nearby residents, and the airport sought a comprehensive solution to monitor, manage, and mitigate its noise impact.

The Solution

Since 2018, Nantes Atlantique Airport partnered with ACOEM to implement Maestro, a customized interface powered by Aerovision, a cutting-edge aircraft noise and flight track monitoring system. Aerovision provides a powerful platform for:

Real-time noise monitoring: Capturing accurate noise data from a network of sensors around the airport.
Flight track analysis: Correlating noise data with aircraft movements to identify noise hotspots and trends.
Noise mitigation strategies: Evaluating the effectiveness of noise abatement procedures and optimizing flight paths to minimize noise impact on surrounding communities.
Community engagement: Sharing transparent noise data and flight information with the public, fostering trust and open communication.

The Outcome

Since implementing Aerovision, Nantes Atlantique Airport has experienced significant benefits:

Improved noise management: Aerovision has provided the airport with a deeper understanding of its noise footprint, enabling data-driven decision-making to reduce noise pollution.
Enhanced operational efficiency: By leveraging Aerovision’s data and analysis tools, the airport has significantly improved the efficiency of its noise monitoring processes and follow-up actions, enabling more effective responses to noise events.
Increased community trust: Transparent access to noise data has strengthened the airport’s relationship with local residents, fostering greater understanding and cooperation.
Sustainable aviation practices: Aerovision supports Nantes Atlantique Airport’s commitment to sustainable aviation by providing the tools to minimize its environmental impact.

Testimonial

“For over seven years, Maestro (Aerovision) has provided invaluable insights into our environmental impact, enabling continuous improvement. The ease of establishing a public portal has fostered transparent communication with local residents, empowering them to report noise events directly. ACOEM’s proactive support, including training, maintenance and software and noise monitoring stations updates, has been essential. This strong partnership has demonstrably benefited both our community and the environment.”
