If you want to report noise ...

If you have a complaint about a specific aircraft noise incident, please contact Heathrow Airport:

• call 0800 344844
• or email noise_complaints@heathrow.com.

Always include the date and time, together with your name, address and postcode.

Normally, Heathrow alternates the use of runways for landing at night over a four week cycle, and during daytime over a two week cycle.

For the duration of the Pandemic this alternation schedule may be varied, for example to accommodate single runway operations.

Click here for Heathrow’s page giving the runway alternation schedules.

You can check on planes flying into Heathrow, and the resulting sound levels, on Webtrak. This includes a Historical facility, which is useful for identifying flights that may have disturbed you in the early morning.
