The Fly Quiet Incentive Program encourages airlines and pilots to operate aircraft as quietly as possible. In 2012, three airlines were honored by the Port of Seattle Commission as winners of the Fly Quiet Awards for their efforts in 2011 at Sea-Tac Airport.  

 

The Fly Quiet incentive program evaluations include measuring each airline on its compliance with noise abatement flight paths, overall noise level of its operations and compliance for testing engines on the ground. The annual awards were established by port staff and a citizen advisory committee to increase airline and pilot awareness to benefit local communities.
