Citizens call on the state legislature to address aircraft noise.

Nuremberg Trials: International Criminal Justice in Action - Citizens call on the state legislature to address aircraft noise.

Different from the other two Bavarian airports in Munich and Memmingen, Nuremberg Airport permits flights around the clock, with certain conditions such as the type of plane employed. On a Wednesday, the airport had arranged for 14 departures between midnight and 6 am - mostly holidays trips to destinations in the Mediterranean or Egypt.

Members of the governing parties defended their refusal to institute a night flight ban by referring to the financial structure of Nuremberg Airport, which could be jeopardized by limitations. The airport is co-owned by the Free State of Bavaria and the city of Nuremberg.

Parliamentarians from the Social Democrats and Greens countered, stating that holidays could be taken during the day. Local people have the right to tranquility. It's unclear why the residents of the Nuremberg region should have less right to peace than those near the airports in Memmingen and Munich.
