Director’s Report

  • Airfield Crack Seal and Remarking Project: Will begin on July 20 and will take about 54 days to complete.
  • Airport Perimeter Fencing Project: Will start in August.
  • World Cup impact on PDK traffic: There was no impact on traffic, but it is picking up quickly.  AeroCenter has 40+ corporate jets scheduled to come in for semi-finals and finals and others have that many too.  Because of this, the crosswinds runway closed starting today (July 13) for parking.
  • Airshow September 19th.  Gates open at 1 pm.  Actual show starts at around 3:30 and goes until about 8:45 pm.  There will be a fireworks and drone show.

Noise Report – June 2026

  • June operations up almost 6% vs June 2025
  • YTD operations up about 8 vs last year.
  • 63% of voluntary curfew noise complaints are Med-Evac, law enforcement, etc.
  • 1506 complaints — 10.5% during curfew
  • 16.9 complaints per household minus the top 2 complainants.
    • One person had 557 complaints alone.
    • Top 5 are 80% of all complaints.
  • 3 new complainants made 3 complaints

Questions/comments from public during noise report:

  • Concern over giving address on noise compliant tied to something with real estate agents.  It was noted that you can give a nearby address, but something is needed to track complaints. 
  • Concern about flight school planes circling over Brookhaven specifically on Saturday and Sunday mornings in/around Brookhaven Farmers Market.
  • One citizen said that Brookhaven officials said that PDK Director can stop noise which is not accurate.
  • There was an ask if the County can limit flight schools/flight school noise.  Hunter (PDK Director) said he can talk with them, but since PDK receives federal funding, there is nothing that can be done to limit flight schools.
  • There was an ask about the EPA study on PDK.  It should be public in 1-2 months, but Hunter said there is nothing in it that would compel the FAA to change operations at PDK.
