We help airports manage their growth by ensuring regulatory compliance, minimizing their environmental footprint and building strong community partnerships. We work closely with our client base of of over 200 airports on 5 continents to meet environmental challenges, both today and into the future. We offer the industry's broadest and deepest suite of product and service solutions and we are currently expanding to monitoring of air quality and carbon emissions. 
| Why is Airport Noise Monitoring Important? You cannot manage what you don't measure. Noise is a serious issue for airports as surrounding communities become more vocal in their opposition to environmental impact and seek to constrain airport development. Accurate noise measurement is essential to demonstrate compliance with local regulations and provide precise information to mitigate future noise disturbance and improve community relations. | 
| Modeling for the FutureLochard's products and services enable airports to create precision noise contours of historical data and make calculated predictions of future noise impact using actual data collected on flight tracks, noise and weather information. The Lochard Scenario Builder simplifies and automates the creation of noise contours and emissions inventory. | 
| The Rising Impact of Air Quality
Greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprints and general air quality have become key issues at airports around the world. There are multiple levels of data collection, analysis, reporting and compliance that individual airports are facing as necessary additions to their current environment management operations. A new subscription module - AirTrak Carbon Manager - to enable airports to assess and influence their carbon emissions has recently been released. | 
| The Best Way to Handle Complaints
Fast response to complaints and queries, environmental transparency and personal accountability are surefire ways to build better relations and community tolerance. Lochard's ANOMS provides instant answers to complex queries about noise, off-track flights, weather conditions and other issues that concern members of the community. Self-service complaint entry via WebTrak frees noise office staff to concentrate on more general community building activities. | 
| Building Great Community Relations Community tolerance and amicable relations are key to successful airport operation and future development. Lochard's Report Building, Self-Service Investigation , Live Track and Noise display and 3D Flight Path display all aid in giving the public a better understanding of the airport's impact and its mitigation procedures. These transparent programs show the airport is serious about meeting its environmental obligations to the broader community which in turn builds greater community acceptance.
