If you live in “the pocket” in San Fernando Valley, you’re probably wondering why so many planes now roar overhead.
Throughout their 33 years of calling “the pocket” home, Bill Jackson and Linda Jackson have seen air shows, summer picnics and many friendly neighbors come and go.
“There’s an increased noise [level],” said Karen Fritschi, who lives only a few hundred feet from the airport. “It used to just be very small jets and planes with propellers. Now it’s bigger planes and when they take off at night, they wake people up.” Neighborhood activists Suzanne Gutierrez and Sue Steinberg are upset about the surge in charter flights and increased air traffic generated at Van Nuys Airport.
LAWA representatives, including Van Nuys Airport Manager Paul Herrera, presented information about the airport’s background and plans. After the presentations, LAWA hosted a question and answer section. One concern among residents is the frequent departures and landings of charter flights at Van Nuys Airport, which residents say have increased in the years since the COVID-19 pandemic. These flights by private charter companies cost wealthy customers and business people upwards of $1,200 an hour to fly in and out of Van Nuys Airport and let them avoid many downsides of flying commercial.
LAWA said it doesn’t plan to conduct an environmental impact study for its Van Nuys Vision Study “because it consists of research, facilities inventories and data gathering efforts” and “the Vision Study is not a Master Plan.”
