Working with our neighbors

The Jetport is a member of the local community and we recognize that this comes with a great deal of responsibility – to you and to everyone one who lives or works nearby the Jetport. We understand the frustration you feel when aircraft noise makes life seem unbearable, especially when it’s noisy late at night or early in the morning. That’s why we’ve devoted our time and energy toward finding a solution. While no one answer will be perfect, we’re confident that by working together we will find one that benefits us all.

Noise control at the Jetport – a brief history
In June 1988, the City of Portland initiated a federally funded noise study for the Jetport and the nearby community. As a result, noise exposure maps (NEMs) were completed and submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in November 1989. The FAA accepted them in March 1990 and the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) was approved in September 1990. Seventeen of the eighteen operational recommendations contained in the NCP were approved - one was partially approved.

Although most of the recommendations were implemented, several changes have occurred since, including the number of flights at the Jetport as well as the types of aircraft operating here. Because of these changes and the length of time since our last noise study, the airport noise advisory committee requested that we update our noise study. Which brings us to today.

How you can help
We realize that there are many unique neighborhoods around the Jetport, so as we go forward with this noise study, we hope that you’ll help us. Public awareness and involvement are key parts of any noise study. In fact, many of your friends and neighbors are already actively participating. We encourage you to do the same.
