“Airplane noise isn’t just an annoyance, it’s a real quality-of-life and public health issue, and my constituents deserve relief. I am again asking the Federal Aviation Administration to do more to reduce airplane noise and protect the quality of life of families in my district. This is a serious issue, and I will not stop pressing the FAA until they bring meaningful relief to my constituents.”
Suozzi will keep pressing the FAA until it brings meaningful relief from airplane noise for constituents around JFK and LaGuardia.

Air traffic controllers implemented this guidance and airplane noise impacts decreased. However, the guidance was inexplicably abandoned 18 months later.
Assessments
The verified commitment promises continued pressure on the FAA until meaningful relief is delivered. Verified evidence shows Suozzi did continue pressing the FAA, but also states that the problem has not been fixed. Because there is no verified evidence that meaningful relief for JFK/LGA constituents has been achieved, and no deadline has expired, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
