At a recent Ward 11 Presidents’ meeting, community leaders from across the area raised concerns about increasing aircraft noise. Thanks to advocacy from our Ward 11 team, the Calgary Airport Authority provided an update to clarify what’s going on in our skies.
Following the completion of the West Runway rehabilitation in December 2025, airport operations returned to their standard configurations. What feels like "new" noise is actually flight patterns shifting back to pre-2023 conditions. NAV CANADA (the body responsible for air traffic control, not the airport itself) confirms there have been no recent changes to Calgary's flight paths. Shifts in daily noise are typically driven by weather, safety protocols, and operational needs.
However, the Calgary Airport Authority monitors noise levels and relies on community feedback to track potential issues. If a particular flight or time of day is causing a disruption, residents are strongly encouraged to log it.
You can submit a concern directly through the YYC Noise Management portal at yyc.com/en-us/noise-management/submit-a-concern
Please note: To ensure your feedback is processed effectively, keep submissions constructive. The Airport Authority aims to respond to all legitimate inquiries, but aggressive or abusive language will not receive a response.
