Question 17359 — nuisance

Summary

Mr. Peio Dufau draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the concerns of residents of the commune of Hendaye regarding aircraft movements linked to the operation of Hondarribia airport. The MP recalls that Article 5 of Decree No. 92-1267 of December 2, 1992, governing the operation of this airport, provides for several provisions intended to guarantee air safety as well as as the protection of local residents. However, several elements today seem to raise questions regarding compliance with this regulatory framework. On the one hand, the bilateral agreement between France and Spain provides that the visual approach slope indicator be set to 4 degrees. However, according to sources from Hendaye town hall, this is currently set at 3 degrees. On the other hand, visual maneuvers, carried out after an approach using instruments, would be carried out for the most part at an altitude of approximately 100 meters above the town of Hendaye, even though the applicable provisions provide for avoiding flying over the territory at an altitude of less than 300 meters. These concerns come against a backdrop of a sharp increase in air traffic. Hondarribia Airport recorded 486,494 passengers in 2024, an increase of 52% compared to the period preceding the health crisis. Furthermore, new development prospects are envisaged in the years to come, with a target of reaching 750,000 passengers, an increase of 54%. This situation raises important issues for public health and the quality of life of residents. Repeated flights over populated areas cause noise pollution as well as an increase in air pollution. He It is absolutely necessary to assess all of these risks. In this context, he asks whether this issue is expected to be included on the agenda of the competent Franco-Spanish joint commission and, if so, according to what timetable, so that solutions can be studied and implemented to respond to the concerns of the residents of Hendaye.
