Map of noise zones
Four noise zones have been defined by the Walloon Region in order to measure the impact of noise on neighbouring residents in an objective manner.
Within these noise zones, several solutions have been adopted, ranging from insulating the houses to purchasing them by the authorities.
In the area surrounding LIEGE AIRPORT, these operations affect over 11,227 properties. This demonstrates the rigour with which the problem has been handled.
It will therefore come as no surprise that the LIEGE AIRPORT teams, who have become a reference on this subject, are regularly consulted by their European counterparts.
