Belgium sets decision deadline about Brussels Airport noise, aiming for October resolution. Federal Transport Minister Jean-Luc Crucke emphasizes government’s responsibility for structural solutions.
Nearly forty families started legal action over Brussels Airport’s controversial runway approach.
Crucke understands residents’ frustration, favoring comprehensive policies over legal remedies alone. Government must finalize environmental proposals before judge’s mandated first October deadline arrives.
Measures discussed include operational changes, green landings, and increased enforcement of wind guidelines. Decision note with noise, runway, and environmental plans is still awaiting official approval.
