- Make decision on investment plans and their implementation with due consideration for environmental factors
- Run a comprehensive employee training system to ensure consistent improvements in staff awareness and the knowledge required to tackle environmental issues

• Share environmental experience with other members of ACI Europe (Airports Council International) - Prague Airport, as the operator of the international Prague Airport, is not itself a producer of aviation noise. However, it claims responsibility for the handling of noise issues. It will systematically seek out further ways of reducing air traffic noise and demand implementation of such procedures from airport users. It will continue running a noise abatement programme in Prague Airport’s declared noise protection zone.
