Brussels, (Brussels Morning)- The inhabitants of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre could hear more than 26,000 planes taking off or landing last year. In Haren, Evere and Schaerbeek there were 19,000. More than above Wemmel or Grimbergen, but still a lot less than above Diegem or Kortenberg. A first, independent land registry of the flight movements around Brussels Airport can rekindle the discussion about noise pollution.
The land registry was drawn up by the airport ombudsman, Philippe Touwaine.
