Airports owned by the state, as it is the case for most Romanian Airports, have little decision-making competence in Land-use Planning. In this case, Communication and Engagement with all relevant stakeholders, as well as with residents from communities surrounding the airport, can become crucial for the prevention of encroachment. In such cases, in the absence of a complete and harmonised legislative framework for airport noise, it is difficult to understand and choose an effective intervention to reduce noise exposure and impact.
