Environmental policy

Bratislava Airport is committed to contributing to the preservation, protection and improvement of environmental quality. Environmental policy therefore forms an integral part of its corporate social responsibility strategy.

Environmental protection is ensured through preventive measures in four key areas:

• protection of groundwater,
• air traffic noise monitoring,
• air quality protection,
• management of hazardous and other waste.

Groundwater protection:

• Continuous monitoring of pollution levels in cooperation with the Regional Office and the Environmental Department.

Noise monitoring:

• 24-hour noise monitoring in place since 1994,
• online monitoring linked to a radar system in cooperation with LPS SR, š.p.,
• ongoin noise studies and subsequent adjustment of flight trajectories,
• communication with affected villages and municipalities.

Air quality protection:

• continuous monitoring of pollution levels.

Waste management:

• disposal of hazardous and other waste.

As part of its environmental policy, Bratislava Airport participates every year in the creation of a noise map, which is an important document in assessing and approving new development in the vicinity of the airport. Bratislava Airport is aware of its strategic location on the outskirts of Bratislava and has therefore introduced regular meetings with representatives of neighbouring municipalities.
