Whiteman Airport Community Meeting

April 30, 2026 | Whiteman Airport Community Meeting

Together with the NEST Coalition, we hosted a community meeting on Whiteman Airport focused on noise concerns and environmental safety. Residents learned about airport-related impacts, including potential health and environmental concerns, and heard mitigation strategies presented by ICON CDC. Most importantly, community members shared how aircraft noise affects their daily lives and voiced concerns about leaded aviation fuel and air quality.

If you couldn't attend but would still like to share your feedback, you can submit comments or concerns about Whiteman Airport to Los Angeles County Public Works using the link below.
