DATA SPOTLIGHT: Los Angeles International Airport

This year The Blue Swan Daily will feature some of the leading airlines, airports and country markets for air travel. Here, using the extensive profile insights available to CAPA - Centre for Aviation members to deliver a data snapshot on Los Angeles International airport, whose operator Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has this month launched a new initiative aimed at incentivising proactive efforts by large commercial airlines to fly as quietly as possible.

The Fly Quieter program will evaluate airlines annually based on scoring from a variety of criteria, including compliance with the airport's noise abatement procedures, the use of quieter aircraft and new technology, as well as engagement with local community groups and other stakeholders.

Airport officials will collect data and engage with each airline over the course of the year to help them to improve their scores by taking proactive noise reduction and/or stakeholder engagement efforts before finalising the annual scores and publicly recognising the airlines that make the most substantial efforts to address aircraft noise.
