Control over aircraft noise extended
More stringent noise standards will be applied to aircraft under a new Schedule to the Civil Aviation (Aircraft Noise) Ordinance which takes effect today (Thursday).
A government spokesman explained: "The amended Schedule extends the requirement previously applied to Hong Kong airlines to all airlines operating at Kai Tak by requiring all subsonic narrow-bodied jet aircraft landing or taking off in Hong Kong to comply with the noise standards set out in Chapter 3 of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
"The new requirement covers both local and foreign registered aircraft and previous exemptions for some categories of local aircraft have been removed."
