They have published "Managing the Impacts of Aviation Noise", a guide for reducing aviation noise which is to be distributed around airports and air traffic management organisation globally.
 
"The aviation industry needs to address the concerns of local communities about aviation noise to maintain the support of governments and the general public and to maintain our licence to operate. The industry must do more—work collaboratively and pool its collective ingenuity and innovative capabilities—to develop solutions that address the noise challenge. This publication provides a template for action on noise," said Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World.

The guide will look at the challenges faced with aviation noise, and reviews four approaches to tackling the problem, using eleven case studies to show evidence of the approaches.
