Can you be more specific eg can you tell us the airport(s) and whether these are noise or track violations. €20,000 is a hefty fine!

For example at LHR noise infringements, ie where an aircraft exceeded a specified noise level, were fined and the monies given to local charities. At least that's how it worked in the 90s.

Track violations where the aircraft did not follow the SID were reported to the airlines but no fines imposed. The biggest problems were on departures with large turns as the effects of drift and speed etc made for a much wider spread in tracks. Straight(ish) SIDs eg Compton westerly departure were very good at track keeping.
