Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with major airports on tackling noise pollution.

Ministers and officials engage regularly with airports on a range of issues including noise pollution.

Major airports are required to produce noise action plans every five years. Current plans cover the period 2024-2028 and have been published on airports’ websites.

The government also sets noise controls at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports. At other airports, appropriate noise controls should be set locally through the planning system.
