Noise Management
Noise Compatibility Programs at MKE
Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) is committed to reducing the effects and exposure of aircraft noise whenever possible.
MKE has a long-standing history of working with surrounding communities and the airlines to address aircraft noise concerns and remains dedicated to keeping aircraft noise reduction a priority. We continually strive to strike the right balance between the needs of air travelers and the needs of area residents living close to flight paths.
The information below outlines some of MKE's Community Noise Management Programs.
