This is something I don't understand. There must be a sane reason, right? I mean, they can't be so bloody stupid to have put the biggest airport in Europe on the western outskirts of a city and then have made a major landing strip come in from the east. To your point, airplanes coming in basically bathe the entire city east to west in noise.
