The impact on the environment of air traffic increase due to the single European market is addressed and the chances of the European Community for a successful protection of environment are evaluated. The evolution of the European environmental policy was explained, since the 1972 Paris summit, where chiefs of states and governments decided to work for a better quality of life, until the creation of European Environment Agency and the writing of the single European act, which outlines the responsibility of member states in environment protection. Environmental damages due to air traffic were recalled: aircraft noise, harmful emissions such as carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, waste treatment and ground water protection. Current activities for international standardization of aircraft nuisances are reported: the Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), the abatement of nuisances caused by air transport group of ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference) decided the nitrogen oxide emissions have to be dropped from 40%; the European Commission edited a green book titled 'A common strategy for a sustainable mobility'.
