The British apparently take their noise levels very seriously – even at the airport.

El Al Airlines was rated the noisiest carrier at London’s Heathrow Airport for the period July – September 2014.

Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye penned a stern warning to El Al about the offensive noise produced by its aircraft during approach to landing (CDA, or continuous descent approach).

The airport chief executive said he’s “written to those airlines failing to meet Heathrow’s CDA standards, asking for engagement from their technical teams with the airport to increase CDA adherence.”

The quietest airlines over the same period were domestic and short-haul flights for British Airways, Virgin and Aer Lingus (Ireland).

The previous holder of the “noisiest” record in west London was the Polish airline, LOT.
