New infrastructure could mean bigger and louder planes over our suburbs, affecting more residents. Massive aircraft like the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350-900, are twice as loud as the jet flights we experience today. Using AI, we’ve created a visual comparison of these new planes—take a moment to check it out.
💡 What can we do? We need to act now to revert the flight path back over the harbour, rather than turning left after takeoff and climbing over the slopes of our peak terrain - Mount Kaukau. But to do that, we need your support.
📢 We’re raising $25K by 2025, and we could use your help to reach our goal. Help us take action.

We can confirm (📸 see the pic in the comments) that flights have been recorded at altitudes below 3,000 feet over Khandallah and below 4,000 feet over Johnsonville.
The terrain in these areas varies significantly: 🌳 Khandallah is 880 feet, 🌄 Broadmeadows is 984 feet, 🏘️ Johnsonville is 495 feet, 🏞️ Horokiwi is 820 feet, 🌊 Korokoro is 135 feet, and 🏡 Newlands is 453 feet.
So, while the document doesn’t explicitly state it, flights are flying low and close to the suburbs under the current DMAPS flight path. 🌍 Sea level comparisons aren’t an accurate representation because the topography of our Wellington suburbs varies! 🌿

🔎*Compare the old vs. new flight paths*:
*Page 7*: Old flight path
*Page 4*: New flight path (however, see more in the comments 👇)
🔎*Check page 2*: It mentions that pilots can request to deviate from the path, but 'occasionally deviating' is very different from being directly under the new path. Previously, lighter turboprop planes flew over, but now DMAPS concentrates jet engine aircraft over suburbs, causing a significant noise increase.
📊*Noise impact*:
*Old*: 54dB (prop planes) - this is what an Airways Report tells us.
*New*: Up to 80dB (jet engines) - actual noise captured by sound monitors in the suburbs (this isn't included in the consultation documentation). And remember, decibels increase exponentially like the Richter scale!
🚨Plus, unlike on the previous flight path, DMAPS means more frequent flights, with smaller gaps between them, and an increase in jet departures means higher noise levels for longer periods over the new path. That's why we're pushing for the DMAPS decision to be *reversed*, reverting to the old flight path - which isn't the same as sending all the jets over another suburb.
