Complaints filed with the city about flying to and from Longmont’s Vance Brand Municipal Airport dropped sharply in 2016 from 2015 totals, according to airport Manager David Slayter.
Slayter said in a written report to the City Council that the 2016 complaint database showed a 712-complaint decrease from a year earlier. The airport recorded 969 complaints filed with the city’s Link2Longmont online concerns logging system in 2015, compared to a total of 257 complaints last year.
The total number of people filing those airport-noise complaints also fell, dropping from 90 people in 2015 to 33 people in 2016, Slayter reported.
Slayter and the Airport Advisory Board, which are to present their annual report at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, said all but 15 of last year’s noise complaints were directed at planes flown by Mile-Hi Skydiving, one of the airport’s tenants.
