Full scale Airport very close to residential Areas

Decreasing Aircraft Movements in Total (due to decreasing Movements of small aircraft)

Increasing Aircraft Movements at Night (22 to 6 o‘clock)

Investments in Airport-Infrastructure while there is no or less money for schools and other social Institutions
