We, the undersigned, declare September 13 as International Day for the Ban on Night Flights at Airports. Take-offs and landings during the night are an unreasonable burden with particularly harmful health consequences for all people in the vicinity of airports. They are unnecessary and avoidable. Absolute exceptions, such as medical emergencies, do not stand in the way of banning night flights at airports. Night flights at airports must be stopped immediately. The damage to health and the climate is disproportionate to any alleged necessity of take-offs and landings at night. We see the International Day for the Ban on Night Flights at Airports as a clear and lasting signal against the unreasonable violation of people’s rights at and around airports. Immediate end to night flights at airports!
