Aircraft noise – caused by take offs and landings, taxiing and engine testing – is an important issue for communities living near airports and under the flight paths.

We monitor aircraft noise levels and departure tracks and fine airlines that break noise limits. We also handle noise related public enquiries and complaints and have produced clear communications so people can understand the different elements of aircraft noise. As part of our work we liaise closely with airlines, air traffic controllers and local authorities to meet our objectives.
