City of Wood Dale issued the following announcement on Sept. 11.

The Interim Fly Quiet Runway Rotation Plan (IFQ) is scheduled to begin on Sunday, November 3, 2019. 

For each week, a primary and secondary runway use configuration is provided to accommodate potential changes in wind direction. The IFQ will be in place until May 2020 when pavement rehab is scheduled to take place on Runway 4R/22L. 

The IFQ will return in September 2020 and remain through February 2021 when construction on the Runway 9R extension begins. ONCC formed an ad hoc Fly Quiet Committee in September 2015 as a result of the Chicago Department of Aviation’s recommendation to modify the existing Fly Quiet Program. 

Fly Quiet is a voluntary nighttime noise abatement program at O’Hare that is in effect from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. The ONCC Fly Quiet Committee is now considering options for FQ21 – a new Fly Quiet plan to be in place once the O’Hare Modernization Plan is completed and full build-out is reached.
