ITAMI is an urban airport in the vicinity of the city area and has air craft noise problem. Local residents used to request an injunction of flights at night and abandonment of ITAMI. By implementing various noise countermeasures, we currently live in harmony with the local communities as a highly convenient airport. However , there are still various strict operational restrictions and it is difficult to activate ITAMI. W e have tried to deregulate one of these restrictions such as usable aircraft type and airlines. To get understand ing of local residents and local communities, we have taken various countermeasures to reduce total noise volume and to prevent noise concentration on particular area. In this paper, we will describe the history of ITAMI, noise countermeasures implemented so far, and current initiatives as a new atte mpt.", }
