With charter flights for $1,200 from Van Nuys Airport causing more noise and pollution, neighborhoods push back.

“You want your kid to be able to go outside and not worry about respiratory problems because of it,” Nanni said. “It’s a terrible thing to think about.” Van Nuys resident Leah Nanni voices concerns about air and noise pollution during the public comment portion of a Van Nuys Airport Citizen Advisory Council meeting on March 7. The public comments largely pertained to concerns about airport expansion, as well as the environmental impact of the airport. Representatives of Los Angeles World Airports , which runs the Van Nuys Airport, said the airport will not be expanding.
Some of the land LAWA owns is leased out to businesses, including a large area leased out to Home Depot. According to LAWA, that land is designated for commercial use and not aviation use. But some community members said they are afraid that could change, allowing for expansion on LAWA’s existing property.
