Fly Quiet Award Program
• The Fly Quiet Program was implemented in 2002 as a component of the
Part 150 Study update.
• The Fly Quiet award was developed to increase airline awareness of the
impact of aircraft noise on local communities.
• Fly Quiet evaluates flight procedures and noise levels of aircraft operating
at SEA recognizing the two airlines with best record of achievement.
• A third award is given to an airline that showed significant improvement or
lessened their noise impact over the course of the year at SEA.
