The annual Fly Quiet Award recognizes three airlines for their achievements in limiting the impacts of aircraft noise on local communities. Using noise monitor data and the Port’s flight tracking system, airlines are judged based upon the overall noise of their operations, including late night noise exceedances, and their adherence to flight procedures and airport ground engine maintenance run-up restrictions.
Two airlines with the highest level of achievement in these categories are given Fly Quiet Awards and a third airline is recognized for making a change that greatly reduced their level of noise over the previous year.
