OAK has a history of working together with the community to reduce noise impacts.
Before the current noise-monitoring system was installed, the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (OAK) regularly met with aircraft operators, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and community representatives to develop noise abatement procedures. Today, the airport continues to meet with these groups to find ways to balance concerns while maintaining safety as its number one priority.
