The 21st Annual YVR Fly Quiet Award Winners
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is committed to managing aircraft noise while balancing the community's need for safe, convenient 24-hour air travel with enjoyable urban living. One way we work with our airline partners to support this commitment is through YVR's Fly Quiet Awards.
Founded in 2005, YVR's Fly Quiet Awards recognize airlines for their commitment to YVR's noise management program and compliance with the airport's Noise Abatement Procedures. The awards also help raise awareness of the importance of responsible noise management for both YVR and our neighbouring communities.
On May 6, YVR announced the 21st Fly Quiet Award winners at the Chief Pilot’s meeting, which provides updates on the performance and development of YVR’s airside operations.
Each year, awards are presented to airline carriers that demonstrate a strong commitment to noise management. Winners are selected based on having the lowest annual noise level, as measured by YVR’s Aircraft Noise & Operations Monitoring System, and compliance with YVR’s Noise Abatement Procedures. The awards are presented in three categories—propeller, narrow-body jet, and wide-body jet —to reflect the different noise profiles associated with each aircraft type.
We are pleased to recognize the following winners of this year’s Fly Quiet Awards:
- Propeller Aircraft: Jazz Aviation
- Narrow-body Jet: Porter Airlines
- Wide-body Jet: Japan Airlines
YVR’s noise management practices help balance the needs of our neighbours with the airport’s 24/7 operation in service of our community and the economy that supports it.
