Respecting the Environment
Procedures
Approach and departure procedures for helicopters have been modified so as to prevent as far as possible flying over residential areas, and so reduce the noise nuisance generated by this considerable activity.
Engine tests
Engine test of turboprop aircraft are carried out in the south sector of the airport, located further away from the most densely inhabited area so as to reduce noise nuisance.
These tests are forbidden on Mondays to Saturdays from 0700 to 0800, from 1200 to 1300, and from 1830 to 2000, as well as on Sundays and holidays.
Jet engine tests are carried out inside an acoustically insulated building called braking cell located in the military sector. Jets are not maintained at Sion Airport without restrictions, except in exceptional cases.

- Go around by aircraft not based in Sion, by aircraft belonging to noise categories A and B, and multi engine aircraft.

- Braking (control of engines and jet engines)
- Technical flights
