Airport Carbon Accreditation

Level 4 Düsseldorf Airport holds Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 4 (status checked October 2026), according to the programme's public list.

A certification of how the airport operator manages its own carbon emissions (levels 1–5, "+" = with offsetting). It is not a measure of how much the airport or its flights emit.

Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACI)

Aircraft noise exposure

Counts only residents OUTSIDE large urban areas ("agglomerations"). People inside a city who hear the same airport are reported in the city's own noise map and are included in the national total, not here.

43,700 people living outside large urban areas around Düsseldorf Airport were exposed to aircraft noise of 55 dB Lden or more, and 9,000 to 50 dB or more at night, according to the European Environment Agency (Environmental Noise Directive, 2022 reporting round).
