We are a citizens grassroots organization which includes Arlington,
Belmont, Cambridge, Medford, Somerville, Watertown and Winchester – all
communities affected by the increased airplane noise due to the
implementation of 33L RNAV (using GPS) departures at Boston Logan
Airport. The quarterly meeting location rotates to different towns.

BWFS is fighting for a more equitable distribution of airplane noise.
Since our creation in 2013 we have effectively advocated with officials
at state and national level, and also with Massport and the FAA. As a
result of our advocacy Boston Logan Airport’s 33L RNAV was selected by
the FAA to have RNAV departure procedures re-evaluated, first such case
in the country. An MIT team is working on this complex project as we
speak.

Everyone affected by the increased airplane noise is strongly encouraged
to join the fight, and to keep up the pressure and to advocate for the
implementation of the MIT’s Block 2 findings when they become available.

Please join us! All are welcome!
