San Diego Airport Quieter Home Program
Airport Noise Advisory CommitteeThe San Diego County Regional Airport Authority recognizes that neighborhoods surrounding San Diego International Airport are affected by noise from aircraft operations. An Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) (Committee), consisting of individuals from various organizations, residential areas, and professional associations, was formed in 1981 under the San Diego Unified Port District, previous operator of San Diego International Airport. The Airport Noise Advisory Committee is formally adopted as Airport Authority Policy 9.20.The Committee, composed of no more than 18 voting members, provides a forum for collaborative discussion of airport noise issues and other related matters.

Community Outreach Programs.
Other Airport Noise-Related Issues. Curfew Violation Review PanelThe Airport Authority Board recognizes that neighborhoods surrounding San Diego International Airport are affected by noise from aircraft operations. San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Code 9.40, Airport Use Regulations at San Diego International Airport, contains certain Time of Day operational restrictions (The Curfew). Program DescriptionThe purpose of the San Diego International Airport’s (SAN) Fly Quiet Program is to encourage commercial operators to operate as quietly as possible in the San Diego area by acknowledging those operators that attempt to follow the noise abatement goals of the airport. The program creates a participatory atmosphere of the operators working with the airport and community to actively reduce noise by grading an operator’s performance and by making the scores available to the public.
The Fly Quiet Program offers a dynamic venue for reviewing noise abatement initiatives by praising and publicizing active participation rather than a system that admonishes violations from essentially voluntary procedures. ScoringCurrently, the Fly Quiet Program scores commercial operators on the three most commonly voiced concerns from residents surrounding the airport, curfew violations, early turns and fleet noise quality. The higher the score, the quieter the operator is flying in and out of SAN.Curfew Violations:SAN has an existing curfew violations system in place as part of the Airport Use Regulations that may result in a monetary fine if an operator violates the curfew. An operator that does not log any curfew violations during the time period is automatically assigned a score of 10 points.
If the Airport’s Curfew Violation Review Panel determines that a flight violated curfew and will be penalized, the score will be adjusted by subtracting 2 points. If the Airport’s Curfew Violation Review Panel determines that a flight violated curfew and will not be penalized, the score will be adjusted by subtracting 1 point. Additionally, 1 point will be added to any operators score that cancelled a flight in order to avoid violating curfew.Noise Exceedance:Eliminating high-level aircraft noise events is a long-standing goal of the Airport, as a result, the Airport has established an element that identifies the loudest 10% of aircraft arriving and departing at SDIA, as measured at Noise Monitoring Terminals (NMT’s) #1 and #7, respectively. NMT #1 Is located approximately one (1.0) mIle from the arrival end of Runway 27 and NMT #7 Is located approximately one-half (0.5) mile from the departure end of Runway 27. Each NMT has established thresholds to identify aircraft. Whenever an aircraft produces a noise level higher than the threshold, a noise exceedance occurs. A noise exceedance may take place during arrival or departure and are logged by the exact operation along with the aircraft type and airline name.Fleet Noise Quality:The Fleet (or type of aircraft an operator uses) Noise Quality score evaluates the noise contribution of each operator’s fleet as it actually operates at SAN.
Operators generally own a variety of aircraft types and schedule them according to both operational and marketing considerations. The Fly Quiet Program assigns a higher rating or grade to operators operating quieter, new generation aircraft, while operators operating older, louder technology aircraft would rate lower. The goal of this measurement is to fairly compare operators – not just by the fleet they own, but by the frequency that they schedule and fly particular aircraft into SAN.The method used here bases an operator’s Fleet Noise Quality Rating on established by the FAA’s noise certification data. For each aircraft type, Part 36 specifies allowable noise levels at three measurement locations: approach, departure, and sideline. Part 36 allowable noise limits increase with weight, so that larger aircraft, serving more passengers, are not penalized as compared to smaller types. The rating method for the Fleet Noise Quality rating totals the difference between each aircraft’s certified noise levels at all three measuring points and the Stage 3 standard for that weight and number of engines.
Aircraft with the greatest number of decibels below Stage 3 threshold are rated the best. Similar to and consistent with Part 36, the Fleet Noise Quality Rating allows for higher noise levels for larger aircraft. It is important to credit larger aircraft serving more passengers, because they offer more air service in fewer flights and less total noise than multiple operations in smaller aircraft types.
Sources: San Diego County Airport Authority, Alaska AirlinesStatistics: San Diego County Airport AuthoritySan Diego International Airport (: SAN,: KSAN,: SAN), formerly known as Lindbergh Field, is an 3 mi (4.8 km) northwest of Downtown, United States. It is owned and operated by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. San Diego International Airport covers 663 acres (268 ha) of land.In 2015, traffic at San Diego International exceeded 20 million passengers, serving more than 500 scheduled operations carrying about 50,000 passengers each day. While primarily serving domestic traffic, San Diego has nonstop international flights to Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.San Diego is the largest in the United States that is not an or secondary hub; however, San Diego is a focus city for.
The top five carriers in San Diego during 2017 were Southwest Airlines (34.7%), (12.6%), (11.9%), (10.3%), and Alaska Airlines (8.7%).San Diego International is the busiest single airport in the United States and third-busiest single runway in the world, behind. The airport's landing approach is well known for its close proximity to the of, and can sometimes prove difficult to pilots due to the relatively short usable landing area, steep descent angle over the crest of, and shifting wind currents just before touchdown. San Diego International operates in served by the, which is some of the busiest airspace in the world.
Replica inside the airport.The airport is near the site of the factory, but it is not the same as Dutch Flats, the Ryan airstrip where flight tested the before his historic 1927 transatlantic flight. The site of Dutch Flats is on the other side of the, in the, near the intersection of Midway and Barnett avenues.Inspired by Lindbergh's flight and excited to have made his plane, the city of San Diego passed a bond issue in 1928 for the construction of a two-runway municipal airport. Lindbergh encouraged the building of the airport and agreed to lend his name to it. The new airport, dedicated on August 16, 1928, was San Diego Municipal Airport – Lindbergh Field.The airport was the first federally certified airfield to serve all aircraft types, including. The original terminal was on the northeast side of the field, on Pacific Highway.
The airport was also a testing facility for several early US designs, notably those by (superintendent of construction on the Spirit of St. Louis) who also operated the Bowlus Glider School at Lindbergh Field from 1929–1930. The airport was also the site of a national and world record for women's altitude established in 1930. On June 1, 1930, a regular San Diego–Los Angeles route started. The airport gained status in 1934. In April 1937, Air Base was commissioned next to the airfield. The Coast Guard's used Lindbergh Field until the mid-1990s when their fixed-wing aircraft were assigned elsewhere.A major defense contractor and contributor to heavy bomber production, later known as Convair, had their headquarters on the border of Lindbergh Field, and built many of their military aircraft there.
Convair used the airport for test and delivery flights from 1935 to 1995.The took over the field in 1942, improving it to handle the heavy bombers being manufactured in the region. Two camps were established at the airport during World War II and were named Camp Consair and Camp Sahara. This transformation, including an 8,750 ft (2,670 m) runway, made the airport 'jet-ready' long before jet airliners came into service.
The May 1952 C&GS chart shows an 8,700-ft runway 9 and a 4,500-ft runway 13.(PSA) established its headquarters in San Diego and started service at Lindbergh Field in 1949. The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows 42 departures per day: 14 American, 13 United, 6 Western, 6 Bonanza, and 3 PSA (5 PSA on Friday and Sunday). American had a nonstop flight to Dallas and one to El Paso; aside from that, nonstop flights did not reach beyond California and Arizona. Nonstop flights to Chicago started in 1962 and to New York in 1967.The first scheduled jets at Lindbergh Field were in September 1960, American Airlines to Phoenix and United Airlines 720s to San Francisco.The original terminal was on the north side of the airport; the current Terminal 1 opened on the south side of the airport on March 5, 1967. Terminal 2 opened on July 11, 1979. These terminals were designed by Paderewski Dean & Associates.
A third terminal, dubbed the Commuter Terminal, opened July 23, 1996. Terminal 2 was expanded by 300,000 square feet (27,871 m 2) in 1998, and opened on January 7, 1998. The expanded Terminal 2 and the Commuter Terminal were designed by and SGPA Architecture and Planning.
As downtown San Diego developed, the airport's 3,600 ft (1,100 m) second runway was closed.The airport was built and operated by the City of San Diego through the sale of municipal bonds to be repaid by airport users. In 1962 it was transferred to the by a state law.
In 2001 the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority was created, and assumed jurisdiction over the airport in December 2002. The Authority changed the airport's name from Lindbergh Field to San Diego International Airport in 2003, reportedly considering the new name 'a better fit for a major commercial airport.' Expansion San Diego International Airport's expansion and enhancement program for Terminal 2 was dubbed 'The Green Build'.
Additions include 10 gates on the west side of Terminal 2 West, a two-level roadway separating arriving and departing passengers, additional security lanes, and an expanded concession area. It was completed in August 13, 2013 and cost 900 million. In January 2016 the airport opened a new consolidated rental car facility on the north side of the airport. The US$316 million, 2-million-square-foot (190,000 m 2) facility houses 14 rental car companies and is served by shuttle buses to and from the terminals. A new three-story parking structure in front of Terminal 2 was launched in July 2016 and completed in May, 2018.The Airport Development Plan (ADP) is the next master-planning phase for San Diego International Airport.
In 2006, a county-wide ballot measure to move the airport was defeated. Therefore, the airport will continue in its current location for the foreseeable future. The ADP identifies improvements that will enable the airport to meet demand through 2035, which is approximately when projected passenger activity levels will reach capacity for the airport's single runway. An additional runway is not being considered.The ADP envisions the replacement of Terminal 1 and related improvements. As a first step in the ADP, several potential concepts were developed. These concepts represented the first step in a comprehensive planning process.Extensive public outreach was conducted to obtain input from residents and airport stakeholders in the San Diego region. The Airport Authority Board eventually selected a preferred alternative and a detailed environmental analysis is now under way.
The environmental review and planning process is expected to conclude in spring 2017.A new immigration and customs facility at the western end of Terminal 2 began construction in 2017. The new facility was completed in June 2018 and is almost five times the size of its predecessor.
Prior to its completion, international arrivals were handled at gates 20, 21, and 22 in Terminal 2 East. These arrivals are now handled at gates 47, 48, 49, 50 and 51 in Terminal 2 West. The construction of the new facility was due to the sharp rise of international travel at the airport; international arrivals increased 'from 50,000 passengers a year in 1990 to more than 400,000 a year in 2017.'
San Diego International Airport is proceeding with a redevelopment plan, starting with reconstruction of Terminal 1. This work is scheduled to be complete by 2026. The number of gates will increase from 19 gates in the old Terminal 1 to 30 gates in the new Terminal 1. Other parts of the redevelopment plan include a 7,500-space parking structure, a new dual-level roadway in front of the new Terminal 1, and a new entry road.
Further changes are scheduled in later years for Terminal 2, which will increase the total number of gates at San Diego International Airport to 61. Completion of these changes is not expected until 2035. Relocation proposals In the jet age there have been concerns about a relatively small airport constrained by terrain serving as the area's primary airport; at one point acting administrator William B. Davis said he doubted any jet airline would use it.
In 1950 the city acquired what is today and much of the land surrounding it through eminent domain in order to build a new airport, but the brought with it a massive expansion in jet traffic to nearby which soon rendered a commercial service airport in the area impractical. The CAA refused to fund any major enhancements to SDIA through the 1950s, and at various times the city proposed, and as replacements. But cost, conflicts with the Navy, and potential interference with other air traffic stymied all these plans. It was not until the 1964 that the would finally agree to an expansion of SDIA, which at this point was over double the capacity of its 1940's era terminals, leading to the construction of today's Terminal 1. Even then, it was only allowed with the assurance of San Diegan Mayor that it was only a temporary measure until a replacement could be found. From that time until 2006 various public agencies conducted numerous studies on potential locations for a replacement airport.
One was a revisiting of a study done in the 1980s by the City in 1994 when closed and was then immediately transferred to the as Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Another was by the City of San Diego in 1984 and another that started in 1996 and sat dormant with until the airport authority was formed. This study is the first study ever done to look for a new site by a public agency that actually had jurisdiction over the issue, and the first non-site specific comprehensive study of the entire region. San Diego International Airport's former Commuter Terminal houses administrative offices for the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.Bill 93 created the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA) in 2001. At the time the SDCRAA projected that SAN would be constrained due to congestion between 2015-2022, however growth in widebody traffic and changes to airline routing structure have since proved this prediction wrong In June 2006, SDCRAA board members selected as its preferred site for a replacement airport, despite military objections that the compromises this would require would severely interfere with the readiness and training of aviators stationed at the air station. On November 7, 2006, San Diego County residents rejected an advisory relocation ballot that included a joint use proposal measure over these and related concerns over the potential impact reducing the region's military value would have on the defense focused.
Since then no public agency has placed forth a serious proposal to relocate SDIA, and the Airport Authority has stated it has no plans to do so for the foreseeable future Airport facilities. SAN's Control Tower.
Terminal facilities The airport has nearly completed a substantial expansion of concessions. 73 new shops and food and beverage locations have opened throughout the terminals.Three airline lounges are located in the airport in Terminal 2: Delta SkyClub, United Club, and a joint Airspace Lounge/American Airlines Admirals Club. Rental car facilities Until 2015, major rental cars companies operated out of ground-level facilities across Harbor Drive from the airport, with each company operating its own shuttle.
Other companies were located on private property near the airport. In January 2016 the airport opened a consolidated rental car facility on the north side of the airport, housing 14 rental car agencies with capacity for 19. An on-airport shuttle bus service transports passengers to and from the airport. The same shuttle bus also serves passengers from off-site rental car companies, and is intended to carry passengers from a nearby trolley stop as well. Terminals.

Terminal 2 has two parts: East and West, and has 32 gates, numbered 20–51. The rest of the airlines that serve the airport are found in Terminal 2.
All international arrivals at San Diego International Airport are handled in Terminal 2 West at gates 45-51.Commuter Terminal (former). The Commuter Terminal had four gates, numbered 1–4. The last flight to use the Commuter Terminal was American Eagle flight #2883, which departed on the evening of June 3, 2015.
The last flight of the night from LAX (which would in turn be the first flight on June 4, 2015) docked at Terminal 1. Today, the Commuter Terminal houses the administrative offices of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.The airport is home to the largest airport center in the world.The airport promotes education about its history, and sponsors an 'airport explorers' program.There are several well-known pieces of art on display at the airport.
Inside Terminal 2 is a recreation of The Spirit of St. 'At the Gate', a popular piece with tourists, depicts comical characters patiently waiting for their planes. Terminal 2 also features 'The Spirit of Silence,' a meditation room designed by public artist.
SAN runway and terminalsThe airport has one runway, designated 9/27 for its magnetic headings of 095 degrees (106 True) and 275 degrees (286 True). The runway is asphalt and concrete, 9,400 feet (2,900 m) x 200 feet (61 m). Each end has a; on runway 27 the first 1,810 feet (550 m) is displaced and on runway 9 the first 1,000 feet (300 m).Wind is typically from the west and most takeoffs and landings are on runway 27. The approach from the east is steeper than most because trees more than 200 feet above the runway are less than 3200 feet from the east end of the runway (i.e. Less than 5000 feet from the displaced threshold.) Contrary to local lore, the parking garage 800 feet east of the end of the runway was built in the 1980s long after previous obstructions were built up east of I-5 and does not affect the approach, nor do any of the nearby downtown skyscrapers.The final approach into landing has gained notoriety among passengers for the unusual experience of flying low next to such a densely populated area as, and has drawn comparisons to Kansas City's and Hong Kong's former.
Landing from the east offers closeup views of skyscrapers, (home of the ), the, and the from the left side of the aircraft. On the right, site of the 1915-1916, can be seen.Reverse operations. Reverse operations at KSANRunway 27 (landing east to west), is a and RNP approach with minimums down to 1.5 mi (2.4 km). For Runway 9 the required visibility is 0.5 mi (0.80 km), so when visibility is below 1.5 mi (2.4 km) arriving aircraft must use Runway 9. Terrain east of the airport often imposes weight limits on departing aircraft, so the heaviest ones must take off to the west.
While safe, these 'head to head' operations slow the flow of aircraft for sequencing and create delays.Terrain east and west of the airport greatly impacts the available runway length. Runway 27 (heading west) has a climb gradient of 353 ft/nmi (58.1 m/km) feet per. Taking off to the east requires a 290 ft/nmi (48 m/km) climb rate, this is due to a mathematical reduction in the runway length.San Diego International Airport does not have standard 1,000 ft (300 m) at the runway ends. An (EMAS) has been installed at the west end to halt aircraft overruns, but the east end does not have such a system as it would reduce runway length by at least 400 ft (120 m), making departures to the west harder. Instead, the use of declared distances reduces the mathematical length of Runway 9 (west to east operations) by declaring that the easternmost end of Runway 9 is 1,121 ft (342 m) shorter with a net length of 8,280 ft (2,520 m).
Noise curfew SAN is in a populated area. To appease the concerns of the airport's neighbors regarding noise and possible ensuing lawsuits, a curfew was put in place in 1979. Takeoffs are allowed between 6:30 a.m. And 11:30 p.m. Outside those hours, they are subject to a large fine.
Arrivals are permitted 24 hours per day. While several flights have scheduled departure times before 6:30 a.m., these times are pushback times; the first takeoff roll is at 6:30 a.m.Current status As of June, 2017, San Diego International Airport is served by 18 passenger airlines and five cargo airlines that fly nonstop to 65 destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Japan, and most recently Germany and Switzerland. Several carriers including Alaska, Southwest, and Spirit have increased their flights to and from San Diego. Additional service between SAN and Los Cabos (Mexico), Dallas, Portland, Boston, Washington D.C./Baltimore, Burbank, and Tokyo were added in 2014; however, Burbank has since been discontinued.resumed nonstop service to on June 1, 2011 with a.

In June 2010 the approved the new Atlantic Joint Business Agreement between British Airways, and, which dropped many of the provisions of the treaty and its restrictions on airlines flying to Heathrow.
Members now can earn mileage on any American Airlines, British Airways, or flight. On March 27, 2016, British Airways changed the aircraft on this flight from the 3-class 777-200 to the 4-class 777-300, increasing passenger and cargo capacity, and to provide first class seats. In November 2015, British Airways announced that it would fly the Boeing 747-400 on the London-San Diego route, and is now used in seasonal service.began service to on December 2, 2012, using the aircraft. This is the airport's first nonstop flight to Asia.
The flights used the 787 until its grounding when service was temporarily replaced with a. The last 777 flight was May 31, 2013. On June 1, 2013, 787 service resumed, this time daily. This route is covered under the Pacific Joint Business Agreement between Oneworld partners Japan Airlines and American Airlines.On Thursday, June 9, 2016, announced thrice-weekly seasonal service from to San Diego, with Monday flights beginning May 1, 2017, through October 2, 2017, Thursday flights beginning May 4, 2017, through October 5, 2017, and Saturday flights beginning July 8, 2017, through September 2, 2017.

Flights are scheduled to begin in late November.The busiest route by flight count is to Los Angeles with 25 daily round trips on United Express, American Eagle, and Delta Connection.
The busiest route by available seats per day is to San Francisco with just over 2,816 seats on 21 daily round trips on United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Alaska Airlines.In January 2008, San Diego International Airport entered the with the launch of the first employee blog–the Ambassablog –for a major US airport. Written by front-line employees, the blog features regular posts on airport activities, events, and initiatives; reader comments; and several multimedia and interactive features. It has been presented as a case study in employee blogging to several public agencies at the federal, state, and local levels.In February 2008, San Diego International Airport was one of the first major airports in the US to adopt a formal sustainability policy, which expresses the airport's commitment to a four-layer approach to sustainability known as EONS. As promulgated by – North America, EONS represents an integrated 'quadruple bottom line' of (E)conomic viability, (O)perational excellence, (N)atural resource conservation and preservation and (S)ocial responsibility.In May 2008, announced an agreement with San Diego International Airport on reducing emissions associated with the airport's proposed master plan improvements. In announcing the agreement, the Attorney General's office said 'San Diego airport will play a key leadership role in helping California meet its aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets.' There are three public transportation options:. bus route 992 connects the airport to downtown San Diego's, where connections can be made to other bus routes and the, and 's.
Metropolitan Transit System bus route 923 runs between and downtown. In July 2015, the airport added its Trolley – Terminal Shuttle Service that runs between the terminals and, which serves the. This shuttle also serves the rental car center; it runs while the airport is open.San Diego International Airport is testing a new system of airfield lights called (RWSL) for the (FAA). It completed the rehabilitation of the north taxiway in 2010. A project that included replacing its airfield lighting and signage with energy efficient LED lights where possible. Because of the airport's close proximity to downtown San Diego, FAA regulations do not allow any building within a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) radius of the runway to be taller than 500 feet (150 m).

But we've taken a look at a couple of scenarios comparing what a high-speed train ticket would cost compared to airfare over the same distance. We've looked at costing about 50% of what an airplane ticket would cost or 83% of what an airplane ticket would cost. In each one of those cases, we see the system as being able to make revenue.
