QUIET AMERICAN SKies
Protecting those on the ground
advocating for flyover communities
Quiet American Skies frames aviation noise and emissions as a global public health and environmental problem. We encourage an accelerated transition to quieter, cleaner aircraft and aviation operations.
“It is time for us all to come together, and to come to grips with the problem of aviation noise, and to build, at long last, an aviation system that is safe, healthy, and quieter. We really know what needs to be done. We have simply lacked the will to do it. Let’s get on with the job.”
— EPA Administrator Russell Train, 1976
Action is needed
Growing demand and more crowded skies mean more aviation noise and emissions harming those near airports and in overflight communities. Learn about the impacts. These are national problems with enormous public costs. Decisive action is required.
Bringing stakeholders together
The aviation industry is extremely complex. Making change happen is a formidable challenge and a long-term proposition. By properly framing the problem, engaging with diverse stakeholders, and working together we can build a safe, healthy, and quieter aviation system.
