Airport Community Group Sends Noise Reduction Ideas to FAA

CLT’s Airport Community Roundtable, a group created to provide input on airport-related noise impacts, approved a slate of seven recommendations last week and submitted them to the Federal Aviation Administration for consideration.

The community group, comprised of 23 representatives from Mecklenburg, Gaston and York, S.C., counties, has met monthly since 2017 with Airport-funded consultants to review potential ways to reduce and more equally disperse aircraft noise around Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

The slate of recommendations can be found here and includes some complicated aeronautical terminology. If the FAA pursues any of the recommendations, it would seek additional public input before moving forward. Roundtable members also are working on a plan to present their recommendations to the community.
