With residential areas so close to the Mumbai airport, efforts are being made to impose a maximum noise standard by monitoring jet plane engine noise. -- Filepic

IN a first in India, Mumbai’s international airport, the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), will now be able to identify aircraft that are the noisiest during take-offs, landing and during parking, round-the-clock.

To reduce the impact of noise on nearby residential areas, the CSIA has installed NoiseDesk, a web-based noise-monitoring system, which is replicated from London’s Southend Airport.
