Jackson Hole Airport Information
Flight Traffic is Trending Up
The trend of increasing flight traffic is self-evident. The above graph taken from JAC’s own data compares the past 4 years of commercial and general aviation (private) flights broken down monthly. As you can see traffic for June, July, and August 2021 increased significantly. With the marked increase in commercial and private flights, there has been a corresponding increase in noise levels in surrounding neighborhoods. JAC acknowledges there is still gate capacity at JAC to increase additional commercial flights. For more detailed information on JAC noise levels, view the December 17, 2021 report by Mead and Hunt consultants to JAC.

Loud Noise Events Are Trending Up
In recent years, loud level noise events (that disrupt conversation) are more predominate than lower level noise events. Historically, this was not the case. For more detailed information on JAC noise levels, view the December 17, 2021 report by Mead and Hunt consultants to JAC.
