FAQs:
How do I register an aircraft noise complaint?

You may contact the Port Authority's Aircraft Noise Complaint line by dialing 1-800-225-1071 or via the internet:  http://www.panynj.gov/contact/contact-us.html

Although the Port Authority of NY & NJ has no jurisdiction over air traffic routes, procedures or altitudes, it has been a hallmark of the agency to be as responsive as possible to constituency concerns about this important community issue. The new noise complaint system introduced on June 28, 2012 expands the existing program, delivering a more robust, comprehensive and easy-to-use format for members of the community to contact the Port Authority with their concerns, so that they can in turn alert the Federal Aviation Administration with specific information on behalf of residents.
