Noise

All aircraft are requested not to land or takeoff after 9:30 pm or before 7:00 am local time. Apart from emergency medical flights and approved irregular commercial aircraft operations, aircraft operators who do not respect the Voluntary Noise Curfew will receive a noise curfew violation letter from the Airport. Curfew violations will also result in score reductions through the criteria outlined in the Fly Quiet Program.

The Jackson Hole Airport has established and implemented a Fly Quiet Program. This program is designed to encourage pilots that operate at JAC to fly quieter aircraft, utilize preferred procedures, and respect the Voluntary Noise Curfew in order to minimize aircraft noise over Grand Teton National Park as well as noise sensitive communities.  All private and commercial operators are graded and receive their scores on a quarterly basis. The top five performing operators from each aircraft category are highlighted in our local papers and national aviation platforms (in both print and digital media) following each ranked quarter. Low performing operators are encouraged to improve their scores by following the tips listed in the Fly Quiet Help Guide.

All noise mitigation measures and programs listed above are voluntary and cannot be legally enforced by Jackson Hole Airport. The Airport does not have legal authority to penalize aircraft operators when noise mitigation measures and programs are not followed.

Noise FAQs

Federal Aviation Administration

The airspace at Jackson Hole Airport is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration.  Because these programs are voluntary, we ask anyone with a noise concern to please send their feedback directly to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for consideration. The Jackson Hole Airport Board is not authorized to limit the number of flights or types of aircraft using our facilities. The FAA is the only organization that can formally respond to these inquiries.

Flight Aware is an online tool that can be used to research a flight operation. It provides a live flight map, and users can hover over a plane ikon with their cursor and see specific flight information.

To submit a noise concern to the JAC Operations team, please use the following link. Before doing so, using the Flight Aware link above and collecting specific flight information will help JAC Operations accurately investigate the matter.
