Here you will find information on how Birmingham Airport manages aircraft noise and how you can report any concerns you may have. The airport also has a noise action plan and a sound insulation scheme in place to help reduce the impact of noise on local communities.
Birmingham Airport recognises the impact of night noise and is subject to stringent operational nighttime restrictions in line with our Night Flying Policy.
The Sound Insulation Scheme provides sound-reducing glazing to properties in areas most affected by aircraft noise.
Community Impact is a series of documents focusing on individual areas to explain the impact of the Airport's operations in these communities.
In addition to our six fixed noise monitors, from time to time we carry out studies of aircraft noise using Portable Noise Monitors. We have also worked to create a Community Noise Report which is available quarterly.
Birmingham Airport has long recognised that noise is a consequence of our operations. Over the years we have developed a comprehensive noise management programme to minimise disturbance to our local neighbours.
We take community complaints very seriously and find this feedback vital to our appreciation of local concerns and issues.
