Reducing noise at departure
 ICAO standard procedures

               ICAO defined two Noise Abatement Departure Procedures (NADP):
               - which optimise noise and reduce impact in the airport vicinity
               - by optimising aircraft speed, configuration and engine thrust

        Setting a new standard for the environment
Conclusion: The A380 double noise benefit

   1   The capacity effect
        • With 35% more capacity than the 747-400, the
          A380 allows airlines to cater for growth with fewer
          additional movements

   2   The technology effect
        • The A380 is an all new design benefiting from
          technological advancements in noise reduction,
        leading to halve the acoustic energy of a 747-400
