LaGuardia Airport Fly Quiet Program Annual Report 2024

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's 2024 Fly Quiet Program Annual Report for LaGuardia Airport outlines a voluntary initiative encouraging airlines to reduce noise by flying quieter aircraft and following noise abatement procedures. Airlines are scored on a 100-point scale, with half the points based on fleet noise quality—using FAA aircraft noise stage ratings from Stage 3 (loudest) to Stage 5 Plus (quietest)—and half based on community engagement and pilot training efforts. The program was developed through collaboration with airlines, the FAA, and the public to address the unique challenges of the busy New York/New Jersey airspace.
