Farnborough seeks to control airport noise
TAG Aviation has introduced a quiet flying program to reduce noise experienced by neighborhoods around London-area Farnborough Airport.

TAG Aviation has introduced a quiet flying program to reduce noise experienced by neighborhoods around London-area Farnborough Airport. It is running the program, which aims to reduce noise by requiring more accurate flight paths, among other things, on a trial basis between early May and the end of this month. The company intends to have the new arrival and departure procedures formally adopted by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

The Farnborough Quiet Flying Program is the result of a new consultation process with local residents associations that was launched in January by TAG Farnborough chief executive Brandon O’Reilly.
