John Wayne Airport recognized the outstanding contributions of General Aviation (GA) jet operators in the 2023 Fly Friendly Program year. The program, which aims to reduce noise and encourage sustainable aviation practices, marks its second year of promoting community-friendly operations.
The 2023 Fly Friendly recognition recipients include GA jet operators across the four tiers of the program. Their commitment reflects the broader mission to embrace greener flight practices. Airport Director Charlene Reynolds expressed enthusiasm for increasing program participation and its vital role in fostering community awareness. “Outreach and education will be pivotal in expanding pilot engagement and promoting best practices,” she affirmed.
JWA already has one of the most stringent aircraft noise monitoring programs in the United States. The voluntary Fly Friendly Program, launched in August 2022, is an education and outreach program that builds upon existing regulations to educate GA jet operators and seek voluntary adoption of best practices for sustainable environmental aviation.
