About this page

This page outlines the Civil Aviation Bureau's environmental initiatives, particularly regarding aircraft noise surrounding airports. As air transport demand increases, noise impacts have become a significant issue. Japan implements multiple noise abatement measures including: compliance with noise standards, introduction of quieter aircraft, flight frequency adjustments, operational system improvements, and structural airport modifications such as offshore construction. Additionally, under the Aircraft Noise Prevention Law, further measures are implemented in affected areas, including soundproofing assistance for houses, schools, and hospitals, relocation compensation, and green zone construction.
