The Port of Seattle announced this year’s Fly Quiet Award winners, celebrating the achievements of Air Canada, Frontier Airlines, and Air France. The three airline partners, which all operate out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), exemplified the Port’s environmental goals and desire to be a good neighbor to communities. Air Canada and Frontier Airlines received the best overall scores for operations, while Air France earned recognition for showing the most significant improvements.
The Fly Quiet Program has been in place since 2002 as part of the Part 150 Study at SEA, and the Fly Quiet Awards have been a part of the program since 2005 as a way to increase airline and pilot awareness of aircraft noise impacts on local communities.
“I’m excited to be celebrating this year’s Fly Quiet winners, all of whom represent the importance of partnership in being a good neighbor to our near-airport communities,”said Port of Seattle Commissioner Hamdi Mohamed. “As a special-purpose government stewarding a major international airport, we’re committed to using data-driven strategies and strong partnerships with airlines to reduce noise impacts. Our work to be at the forefront of noise programs like Fly Quiet continues to be a Port and Commission priority, and we thank everyone who helps us move the needle forward in supporting those goals.”
