Text of letter being distributed by the San Diego Regional Airport Authority to residences on the south end of Point Loma and Sunset Cliffs: Please Pardon a Possible Slight Increase of Aircraft Noise from San Diego International Airport The San Diego International Airport (SDIA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would like to inform you of an upcoming capital improvement project that will begin on Aug. 10, 2009 and be completed in May 2010. The north airfield taxiway project will add improvements to the current runway. Due to airfield construction and airfield enhancements, you may experience a slight increase in aircraft overflying your homes during airport operation hours in South Point Loma. The air traffic control tower is directing arriving and departing aircraft in the most efficient way possible during the construction work. The airfield improvements will improve the efficiency of the airport runway. Key work items to be completed include: • Replacement and installation of new airfield signs. • Installation of runway guard lights. • Replacement and installation of taxiway edge lights. • Reconstruct taxiway pavement. San Diego International Airport’s nightly noise curfew from 11:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. will remain in effect during the construction period. The capital improvement program is a series of ongoing projects to consistently keep the airport operating efficiently and safely. This is a separate project from “The Green Build,” which will construct 10 new gates at Terminal 2 West, a dual-level roadway and airfield improvements to be completed in late 2012. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience. Please direct your questions to the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority’s Airport Noise Mitigation Department at (619) 400-2781.
