| Abstract | ||||
| Aviation is a part of worldwide environmental problems. Airports face several environmental constraints including noise, local air quality, water quality, waste management systems. Aircraft noise is the most significant environmental problem arising from arriving and departing of aircrafts. Therefore, airport related noise as an important issue that affects the passengers and the surrounding communities and nearby residential areas Hurghada airport is one of the key drivers of the economic growth of Egyptian Airport Company (EAC). Over seven million passengers travelled through Hurghada airport every year. The expected increase in 2030 is twelve million. It is generally accepted that significant improvements to the environmental impacts of aircraft noise will be needed if the long-term growth of air transport is to be sustained. The main goal of this study is the reduction of noise levels and it's mitigations at Hurghada airport and surrounding area; to manage negative impacts of noise to make the right balance with positive economic and social benefits of the airports. Reduction of noise levels can be achieved through effective implementation of noise abatement procedures. This reduction in noise levels reduces noise footprint towards sustainable development. | ||||
