Heathrow expansion and aircraft noise
What to do about aircraft noise
Have your sayReport it
The British Airports Authority runs a 24 hour, seven-day-week noise line at Heathrow. You can call this on 0800 344844 to report noisy aircraft.
During office hours you can normally speak to a member of BAAs Flight Evaluation Unit who will try to help you. This unit deals with a wide range of airport related issues from noise to flight numbers and flight paths. BAA regularly publishes maps showing where complaints come from - so it is worth reporting all local problems.
You can complain about aircraft noise at noise_complaints@baa.com or call 0800 344 844.
Track flights
You can also track flights over your area on Heathrow's new Web Trak system - you can find this at www.heathrowairport.com/noise. The online tracking tool shows you where planes are flying in relation to where you live or work. For security reasons there is a 24-48 hour delay on the flights shown.
Contact HACAN
You may also want to contact the campaign group Heathrow Association for Control of Aircraft Noise (HACAN). The council and HACAN worked together on the night flights case. You can reach them on 020 8876 0455 or visit their website at www.hacan.org.uk.
