Aircraft Noise

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) recognises that in operating a successful airport there is the potential to have an environmental impact upon individuals, communities and businesses close to the Airport and its flight paths. Whilst operating and developing LJLA we are seeking to carefully balance the economic and social benefits with the environmental consequences of air travel.

LJLA is committed to sustainable growth – seeking to minimise and mitigate environmental effects (where technically feasible and reasonably practicable to do so).

Noise Complaints

All noise complaints are recorded and are reported to the Noise Monitoring Sub Committee and the LJLA Consultative Committee, which regularly reviews the scale and nature of noise complaints. The numbers and frequency of complaints is not the determining factor on what is possible to achieve.

• Draft Noise Action Plan 2023

The Draft Noise Action Plan (DNAP) has been produced by LJLA and submitted to DEFRA, in compliance with the Environmental Noise Regulation 2006. This is a dynamic flexible document. On-going positive and negative comments and feedback will continue to be taken into consideration, along with current national and local policy as well as the social and economic benefits of aviation, in order to come to a balanced view on how to take noise mitigation forward at LJLA. If you have any suggestions or comments on the DNAP, please do not hesitate to make them to the Environment Team at environment@liverpoolairport.com
