SEATTLE– The Port of Seattle Commission this week approved the acceleration of sound insulation projects for homes, apartments, condominiums and places of worship in airport communities to be completed in less than half its current schedule. The faster noise reduction benefits near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport will cover projects originally not expected to be complete for another 15 years; instead they will be done in the next seven years.
“With the dramatic growth in over-flights at Sea-Tac, residents can’t wait 15 more years for relief,” said Port of Seattle Commission President Peter Steinbrueck. “By accelerating these noise insulation projects, the Port is demonstrating its strong commitment to affected communities, while not waiting for federal grants to underwrite aviation noise abatement costs.”
Operated by the Port of Seattle, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is a top-ten U.S. airport, serving 51.8 million passengers in 2019. As the region’s gateway to the globe, 30 airlines connect to 91 non-stop domestic and 27 international destinations. At SEA, we promise to create, through a passionate service culture, an elevated travel experience that’s inspired by the original nature of the Pacific Northwest. 2020 is a monumental year at SEA, ushering in a new era of customer-centered travel with better services, facilities, and amenities.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
