Noise Abatement

Welcome to the Palm Beach County Department of Airports Noise Abatement Office webpage. This site is dedicated to the Noise Programs at the Palm Beach International Airport. Our goal is to familiarize you with the department, to give you a general overview of the programs, provide information about our current noise rules and our ongoing noise abatement and mitigation projects, and link you to other related websites for even more information.

The Noise Abatement Office oversees the enforcement of all noise-related rules and regulations and the implementation of noise abatement programs at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (F45), and Palm Beach County Park Airport (LNA).

While Palm Beach International Airport's primary mission is to meet the increasing demand for aviation-related services from Palm Beach County's 1.5 million and growing population with high-quality airport facilities in a safe and cost-effective manner, it is the Noise Abatement Office's responsibility to enhance this mission by promoting noise control programs for the betterment of all airport neighbors - both residents and businesses.

Questions regarding the Noise Abatement Program may be directed to Craig Delegato, Manager, Noise Abatement and Community Affairs at cdelegato@pbia.org.
 

NOTICE OF TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS/PROCEDURES FOR PBI:
The U.S. Secret Service strives to minimize disruptions to the public while maintaining a secure environment for the individuals they protect. In order to ensure the highest levels of safety and security for President-elect Donald Trump, the U.S. Secret Service has requested that the Federal Aviation Administration institute temporary procedural changes that restrict aircraft from flying directly over Mar-a-Lago when the President-elect is visiting. These changes are expected to be in place for the duration of the President-elect’s term and mirror what was instituted during his previous presidency.
