WHAT: The Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC), the governing body for Van Nuys Airport (VNY), will be meeting to hear final comments on a Voluntary Nighttime Curfew. BOAC has asked VNY aviation operators to attend. So it is important that our community is well-represented.

Several months ago the Van Nuys Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) passed a Motion to implement a Voluntary Nighttime Curfew for all non-emergency aircraft flying in and out of VNY between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays, and 10:00 PM and 9:00 AM on weekends and holidays. The motion also requested Burbank Airport (BUR) to enforce and implement their existing Voluntary Nighttime Curfew to include General Aviation non-emergency arrivals and departures. The motion stated that notifications should be sent to users of the airports via FAA Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), via airport public relations, and via signage to announce the Voluntary Curfew.

Instead of supporting that BOAC pass the motion, Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA) staff which oversees VNY Airport, has watered it down with a “Preferential Nighttime Jet Departure Program,” still in development. Only LAWA, BOAC and VNY master tenants have collaborated on it. It falls short and only includes the voluntary hours between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM weekdays and weekends. It also does not include NOTAM announcements or the request for BUR airport.

Tell/bring a neighbor! It is very important for a strong community turnout! Let them know the community should be participating in the collaboration and that we deserve better for our families.
