    Multiple aircraft from Virgin America and Alaska Airlines are parked at gates at Sea-Tac Airport, with an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 visible on the runway in the background. The image likely dates from the 2016–2018 transition period when Alaska Airlines acquired Virgin America and both liveries were still in active service.

    Ultrafine particles and black carbon concentrations and determinants in aircraft cabins of a French airline: Paris-aircraft study

    A French study measured ultrafine particle (UFP) and black carbon (BC) air pollution inside aircraft cabins across 16 European commercial flights, finding average concentrations of 9,122 particles/cm³ for UFP and 207 ng/m³ for BC. Pollution levels were highest during ground phases such as boarding and taxiing, then dropped during flight, with outdoor airport air identified as the primary source of cabin air pollution. These findings suggest that airport ambient air quality plays a greater role in passenger exposure than in-flight sources.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
