Edinburgh Airport noise action plan

Our noise action plan seeks to manage and, where possible, minimise aircraft-related noise at Edinburgh Airport.

The EU and Scottish Government require airports with over 50,000 movements a year – including Edinburgh – to produce a noise action plan. For further details please visit www.scotland.gov.uk.

We are aware that aircraft noise remains a real concern for our local communities, particularly in view of the airport's plans to expand in the coming years.

We hope this noise action plan will enable us to develop our relationship with our communities and other key stakeholders, and to improve our understanding of residents' concerns and priorities, so that we can take effective action in response.

As part of the preparation of the plan, public consultation was carried out to obtain the views of local residents and other interested parties. This consultation has now closed; however, we are always open to discussion of noise-related queries or concerns.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the action plan or noise in general, please contact us on 0800 731 3397. Calls are free and the line is open 24 hours.
