The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Wednesday announced the winners of the 2024 Fly Quiet Awards, a way to congratulate the airlines for their efforts to reduce noise during arrivals and departures at San Diego International Airport.
Four airlines were recognized for their efforts last year:
United Airlines received the highest Fly Quiet Score in the large domestic carrier category “due to its use of the quieter Airbus A321 Neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft,” according to an airport authority statement. United also received a good quality fleet score and was rated best airline in compliance with noise curfew rules within the its category Breeze Airways won the small domestic carrier category by operating the quieter Airbus A220-300 aircraft in and out of SAN. Throughout 2024, Breeze “scheduled only three nighttime departures between 10 and 11:30 p.m. and had no curfew violations” DHL Express USA won the air cargo carrier category. It scheduled one departure between 6:30 and 7 a.m. and no departures between 10:00 and 11:30 p.m. DHL also had no curfew violations Lufthansa won the international carrier category by operating the newer and quieter Airbus 350-900 aircraft. Lufthansa had no departures between 10 and 11:30 p.m. and has never had a curfew violation while operating at SANThe Fly Quiet Program was established in 2017 by the airport authority and Airport Noise Advisory Committee. The flight path in and out of San Diego International is directly over residential neighborhoods.
The program uses a scoring system based on “specific scientific metrics that measure how quietly they operate, such as the types of aircraft they use, how loud those aircraft are, and their adherence to SAN’s curfew which prohibits departures between 11:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.,” the airport authority statement reads.
