While established and funded by Edinburgh Airport Limited, the Edinburgh Airport Noise Advisory Board operates independently and impartially. Community representatives collaborate with EAL, offering advice, information, and recommendations to mitigate the impact of aircraft noise on local communities
Noise explained
While aircraft noise is unavoidable for the region around an airport we are committed to
understanding its impact, minimising it wherever possible, and keeping you informed about what
you hear and why.
Meetings
EANAB meetings take place on the 1st Wednesday of each month hybrid with Google Meet and in person at the Novotel Edinburgh Park.
