roamer Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thai were ranked 48 out of 50 airlines for noise flying into Heathrow in tests carried out in July & September this year. " In last place was Polish airline LOT, with Israeli carrier El Al 49th and Thai Airways 48th." Result of using those old 747's I wonder ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24829340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb2001 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) I don't even think Thai pilots have ever heard of "Noise Abatement" procedures at airports, much less practice it. Edited November 6, 2013 by jcb2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adweb00 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Like there cars no doubt. Removing mufflers means more noise and that means more power right? Ha ha ha ha ha Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It's the 45-inch boom boxes in the wheel hubs. But strangely nothing about the twinkly lights around the windows or the fluorescent tubes under the wings. Brits must think that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 No wonder and no surprise there, as Thais are immune to noises and where ever you in Thailand there is excessive noises and the locals don't seems to mind or notice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooloomooloo Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I'd pay good money for a nice abode under LHR flight path. Sure to be more serene than my neighbours. Edited November 7, 2013 by wooloomooloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Not very scientific, comparing short haul regional's to long haul full of fuel. One must ask however, what about other operators using the same types ? Maybe they have fuel for a 7 hr trip to the states and Thai has a 13 hr trip. Surly the THAI crews are following the "Noise Abatement" procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Probably drilled holes in the exhaust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Just like the cars etc in Thailand, as long as it moves who cares, standards, safety, "mai pen rai" just take money and pack em in, dont forget to charge more wherever you think you can get away with.....so Thai.
