Complaints About Jet Traffic Noise At TIA Decline
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: October 27, 2008
TAMPA - Noise complaints from residents near Tampa International Airport declined 28 percent to 283 from July through September compared with the same quarter in 2007, senior airport planner and noise officer Herman Lawrence Jr. reported.
The airport received noise complaints from 17 residents during the recent three month period. One household accounted for 61 percent of the complaints compared with 92 percent of the complaints from the same household for the year-ago period.
The airport reported a decrease in jet landings on Runway 36R, the east parallel runway at Tampa International. Pilots are encouraged to use the west parallel runway for landings to avoid flying over the more densely residential approach to the eastern runway.
However, state highway construction on the airport interchange will result in continued closings of the west runway at times until the project is completed in 2010.
