Southern Maryland Fair Skies Coalition

Our Goals

The timely implementation of a fair and equitable air traffic plan for DCA that minimizes aircraft noise and pollution affecting the residents of Southern Maryland.  In furtherance of this mission, our objectives are to:

• Create a public forum where concerned community residents, organizations, and businesses can collaborate to achieve shared goals

• Educate the public, media, elected representatives, airports, and the FAA on community concerns and possible solutions

• Cooperate with local, state, regional, and national groups addressing similar air traffic concerns

• Work closely with elected representatives and policymakers to identify effective administrative, legal, legislative, and environmental solutions

• Collaborate with the FAA, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), and DCA Noise Working Group to identify and implement solutions with a clear timeline and realistic outcome for all parties

The Southern Maryland Fair Skies Coalition (SMFSC) steering committee met to reorganize on June 29, 2019.
