Noise Disturbance and WebTrak

If an aircraft made too much noise or flown 'Off Track', we will investigate further and will contact the airline concerned automatically. 

Helping yourself

More and more people are discovering the benefits of our free self-service investigation service known as WebTrak.

WebTrak lets you:

• Locate your address on the map

• Look at details of individual flights as they take off or land at Manchester, including the type of plane, its height, where it is coming from or going to, and the noise levels we have recorded for that flight

• Look at flights over different day and time periods

• Record a noise complaint

This service can also be used to log a complaint. Please note that there is a 4-hour delay on the aircraft track data provided via Webtrak; this enables noise/flight plan data to be correlated to the flight.

Contact the Community Relations Team

If you want to know more about the operations of Manchester Airport or perhaps have a specific complaint then please contact our Community Relations Team.

The Community Relations Team provide information and are able to respond to enquiries or complaints you might have. The noise levels and track-keeping of all departing aircraft are continually monitored and so the Team are able to investigate your particular concern. The Team provide information about flight paths and aircraft operations; for example to prospective home-buyers.

Complaint statistics are provided to Airport Management and the Manchester Airport Consultative Committee; a body that represents the experience of those using, living by and working on the site. The Committee is drawn from local Councillors, stakeholders and representative of airlines, travel agents and consumer bodies.

Persistent complainants

Manchester Airport is committed to maintaining excellent Customer Service reflected in our Corporate Values. We understand that Manchester Airport can sometimes be a noisy and disruptive neighbour and unintentionally our operations can cause concern or disturbance. Complainants can provide a useful resource in understanding common causes of concern. In 2013 the Community Relations Manager presented a procedure for dealing with ‘persistent’ complainers to the Technical Advisory Group of the Manchester Airport Consultative Committee; which was endorsed.
