Weekly magazine “Arguments and Facts” No. 32. What can I buy with a one-time payment? 11/08/2021
Recently, neither the residents of Mitin nor Krasnogorsk can sleep at night. The reason is a terrible hum from planes taking off from Sheremetyevo. Isn’t this a direct violation of the law?
The story of complaints about noise from the airport has been on the news agenda since the beginning of summer. Representatives of Sheremetyevo assure that the discontent appeared because over the past year people have become unaccustomed to the hum of airplanes. But this is not the case: the problem arose even before the restriction of flights due to the coronavirus.
& laquo;It all started in 2019, when the airport changed the flight plans», — confirmed & laquo;AIF» a resident of the village of Aristovo near Moscow Tatiana Sopova. “We are residents of the Krasnogorsky and Solnechnogorsky districts of the Moscow region. Our settlements and densely populated residential areas have existed for many years. Many & mdash; since the early 1950s, when the Sheremetyevo airport was not even built. But even when it appeared, all flights were carried out to the north, bypassing us. Since March 2019, they have started flying over us, “the activists’ open letter says. & mdash; By ushundreds of requests and appeals have been written, a petition has been created for change.org with 8 thousand signatures, residents participated in meetings with the participation of the ATM, the Ministry of Transport, the Federal Air Transport Agency, Sheremetyevo, and spoke in the State Duma. Rospotrebnadzor has repeatedly confirmed the excess of noise standards. Many residents have already had health problems due to constant lack of sleep. Return the old flight plans! Give us back the silence!»
Muscovites are also asking for the same thing — the Rosaviation website notes that appeals on this topic have been constantly received since 2019: «In connection with the change in the traffic pattern of aircraft near the Sheremetyevo airport“residents of the Mitino and Severnoye Tushino districts complain about aviation noise». Residents of Khimki, Skhodni and Lobni also sleep poorly.
The State Corporation for the Organization of Air Traffic in the Russian Federation, meanwhile, claims that the old aircraft traffic patterns do not allow the simultaneous use of different runways at Sheremetyevo. From the Federal Air Transport Agency, citizens receive the same type of answers — & laquo;flights are carried out in strict accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation», & laquo;the airspace above yourthe locality is not a no-fly zone, ” from 23.00 to 6.00 restrictions have been introduced for certain types of aircraft.”
But in the Moscow region department of Rospotrebnadzor, in response to kilograms of complaints, they admitted that the aviation authorities did not take real measures to reduce the noise from aircraft. Therefore, the agency appealed to the prosecutor’s office with a request to correct the situation.
