12 Mitigating Airplane Noise
Minimizing impact and being a responsible community member.
1. Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990: Prevents all US airports from imposing restrictions on flight schedules, number of flights or noise limits
2. More Quiet, Modern Aircraft: Airplane
manufacturers are building quieter planes
3. Encouraging 'Good Neighbor' Practices: We work closely with our military partners, asking them to voluntarily adjust their operations to reduce noise.
4. Voice Your Concern:
a. PSP Airport Commission Noise Committee: meets quarterly b. FAA: 424-405-8020
c. PSP’s Noise Comment Form on PSPs website
d. Other airports: Contact Jacqueline Cochran Regional or Bermuda Dunes directly

Airport Master

A Vision for Our

The airport and its major
projects are funded by airport
revenues, user fees, and
federal grants.
Every cup of coffee, airline
ticket, and rental car sold
at the airport funds PSP
and its projects.
The airport does not rely
on local taxes to operate.

19 Why NotThermal?
Investing in the future of Coachella Valley
Thermal does not have the:
○ Runway length
○ Infrastructure (flight control tower,
baggage claim, terminal capacity)
○ Wind conditions
to host a regional commercial airport.
It would take decades of planning
and development and billions of
dollars to develop Thermal as the
primary airport for the Coachella
Valley.
