Etre accepté par l’environnement est au centre des préoccupations d’Aéroport Marseille Provence

C’est pourquoi, la charte est un engagement, sur le plan économique, social et environnemental, à des actions conjointes, telles que :

• préserver les espèces protégées et valoriser ses espaces naturels, en particulier sur la zone Ouest de sa concession, située sur la ville de Marignane ;
• réaliser une analyse conjointe des opérations d’insonorisation de logements ou d’activités (telles que des écoles) relevant d’un financement par la taxe sur les nuisances sonores aériennes ;
• relancer la communication autour de l’aide à l’insonorisation des habitations riveraines, en partenariat étroit avec la commune ; 
• rechercher en coopération avec les services compétents de la navigation aérienne, une solution d’affichage des trajectoires suivies par les aéronefs en vue de s’assurer du respect des contraintes en vigueur, une information qui doit être facilement accessible par les riverains ;
• promouvoir la mobilité durable (pistes cyclables, véhicules électriques, transports en commun).

Eric LE DISSES, Mayor of Marignane said: “For the first time in our great shared history, the city of Marignane and the Marseille-Provence airport have decided to formalize 97 years of common life by signing a partnership charter. This charter will sanctify our joint ambition to “Live well together”. Thus, our airport becomes a true citizen of Marignane and can finally become part of the life of our city by participating in and helping to promote our territory and its development while respecting ecological balances and the quality of life of the inhabitants. . To this end, the city and the airport are together preparing an exemplary development project for the near future. "

Philippe BERNAND, Chairman of Marseille Provence Airport: "Our development will be sustainable or not. The Airport cannot conceive of developing other than sustainably and with its territory. We are therefore very happy to sign today, jointly with the city of Marignane, our partnership charter Living well together. This charter was built in a spirit of dialogue and consultation and we are proud to have achieved such a partnership today. " Regular monitoring of commitments made Biannual meetings will be organized in order to monitor the implementation of the guidelines of this charter and the actions undertaken.
