Betreff: Re; Unbearable Noise Pollution – Illegal Operation of Runway No.3 – Meeting Invite- 14th March 2009

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Subject: Re: Unbearable Noise Pollution – Illegal Operation of Runway No. 29

 

We all are being subjected to unbearable noise pollution by using 3^rd runway that infact was never required as is evident from the table herein below:-

 

AIRPORT  TRAFFIC -

SUMMARY			IGI Delhi India	London Gatwick	Sydney Australia	London Heathrow
TOTAL Flights per day			590	670	794	1362
No. of runways			3	1	3	2
Night Flights Arrivals per day			45	16	0	27
Night Flights Departures per day			34	2	0	0
TOTAL Night Flights			79	18	0	27
Peak Flight Arrivals per hour			21	29	25	50
Passengers in million/year			23	32	32	62

Note: Night restrictions from 11PM-6AM

 

Therefore, in view of the above, ours is the only country that has luxury of having surplus capacity that too without any requirement.

 

The Authorities despite having agreed in principle to provide short term relief have failed to implement the same. The closure of runway 29 is otherwise essential from operational efficiency point and to save the avoidable waste of precious power. Since the authorities continue to be in deep slumber we have no option but to seek judicial recourse

 

Therefore, in view of the aforesaid, we request you to please join us on 14^th March 2009 at 11.30 am at India Spinal Injuries Center to discuss the matter and decide way forward.

 

Looking forward to see you,

–
