Noise Concerns
Flight operations in all nationwide airspace are regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). As a result, all flight activity above or in the vicinity of Olympia Regional Airport is ultimately FAA responsibility, and not in any way controlled by Olympia Regional Airport or the Port of Olympia. Should there be a concern with either low flying aircraft or aircraft noise, it is recommended that the issue be brought directly to the attention of either the FAA – for all non-military aircraft – and/or Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) – for all military aircraft, including military helicopters.
For all non-military aircraft, noise complaints can be submitted to the FAA at this link: FAA Noise Portal
For all military aircraft, please contact JBLM as instructed by the information at this link: Military Noise Complaint
As an option, you are welcome to send a copy of your correspondence to Olympia Regional Airport for the Port’s awareness.
