In 2023, United Airlines earned bonus points for completing a retrofit program of Airbus 320 aircraft. United, Spirit Airlines, and Alaska Airlines also earned points for participating in LAX/Community Noise Roundtable meetings.

The Fly Quieter Program began in January 2020 as an education and recognition initiative designed to encourage proactive efforts by airlines to minimize noise at LAX. While airports cannot impose mandatory aircraft noise limits, the program acknowledges airlines that follow LAX noise abatement procedures, use quieter aircraft, and adopt voluntary noise-reduction measures where feasible. Since its inception, four airlines have participated in LAX/Community Noise Roundtable meetings, contributing valuable input to discussions addressing aircraft noise issues. Four airlines were also recognized in both 2022 and 2023 for completing voluntary programs to retrofit specific aircraft with noise-reducing technologies.
