MONTREAL: A new generation of U.S.-produced commercial supersonic jets must be no louder than existing planes or risk exacerbating existing complaints over noise from air traffic, Angela Gittens, director of Airports Council International said.
Gittens told Reuters in an interview late on Monday that supersonic jets should not get"a free pass" to generate more noise than subsonic planes or fail to meet global carbon emission standards for new aircraft. Governments, airports and industry have spent billions of dollars globally to improve aircraft technology, install noise-reducing insulation and buy up homes near airports to mitigate public disturbance as air traffic rises."We're already getting more noise complaints and the plane isn't even flying," Gittens said on the sidelines of an Air Transport Action Group Global Sustainable Aviation forum in Montreal.
