Aviation Noise Concerns

The Kelowna International Airport is sensitive to the noise concerns voiced by citizens of the Okanagan.

In a continuing effort to minimize the effect of aircraft related noise, the airport has a very proactive noise management program. Each noise concern received by the Airport is investigated, and brought to the attention of those responsible, and in some cases, regulatory authorities. In addition to this, the Airport meets with Airport tenants, regulatory bodies, and airlines serving Kelowna on an annual basis to discuss noise concerns and mitigation plans. Through this approach of investigation and education, we hope to minimize the impact of noise on the local residents, and prevent recurring problems.

Your comments are appreciated and are taken seriously. However, only concerns with contact information will be registered and replied to. A representative from the Airport will contact you to discuss your concern.
