Brooklyn Quiet Skies is a new community group advocating for noise-free skies over Brooklyn.
In particular, we’re concerned with plane arrivals into Runway 4 of LaGuardia Airport. Since 2012, the concentrated, low-altitude flight path has produced high levels of noise pollution over central Brooklyn, negatively impacting the health and quality of life of these neighborhoods.
If you’re affected, sign up below for occasional emails from us with updates on our work and specific actions you can take. Describing your experience in the Comments section will help us gain a better understanding of the extent of the issue.
Watch this video primer by our friends at Quiet Communities to understand why commercial jet paths have recently become heavily concentrated, leading to health impacts on flyover communities:
In addition, New York has set up aviation roundtables to address noise impacts. Meetings are quarterly via Zoom. To join the next meeting of the LaGuardia Committee of the New York Community Aviation Roundtable (NYCAR-LGA), email: lgacommittee@gmail.com to receive a meeting link.
