Consultations and schemes

This section gives you the opportunity to view details of any current BAA consultations, and our response to UK and EU Government consultations relating to noise.

This section also provides details of voluntary schemes we have developed to provide noise insulation for noise sensitive buildings, such as schools and hospitals and a financial package for relocation assistance for residents in the noisiest areas around our airports for people who want to move. More information.

Vortex Protection Scheme
Aircraft vortices are circulating currents of air generated by aircraft which can sometimes cause damage to roofs or houses. BAA runs a Vortex Protection Scheme which protects homes around the airport from vortex strikes. More information on our Vortex Protection Scheme.
