Moscow's Vnukovo bans operation of 'noisy' aircraft in night time
MOSCOW, March 1 (Itar-Tass) -- Moscow's Vnukovo airport has banned
operation of aircraft of the Tu-134, Tu-154B, Tu-154V, and Ilyushin-86
types in the night time from April 15, the airport's press service said on
Monday.
"These steps have been coordinated with Russia's Air Transport
Agency," the press service said, adding that Vnukovo is the first Russian airport to introduce such bans.
The ban was necessitated by "the social importance of the problem of excess noise caused by such types of aircraft," the press service said.
"The airport does its best to reduce the level of noise at
neighbouring settlements and encourages airlines to withdraw "noisy"
aircraft from their fleet," the press service stressed.
