Late-night jet noise rattles Nelson neighborhoods

Private jets roaring in and out of Nelson Airport at all hours have locals comparing the noise to a neighbor firing up a chainsaw in the middle of the night. Residents say they’re not asking for a total ban—just some peace and quiet during overnight hours, like most airports provide. The airport blames emergency flights, but many see it as a growing issue with private jet travel everywhere, especially as pollution and noise complaints rise globally. Would you support a curfew for private jets in your city, or do you think it’s a fair trade-off for tourism dollars? #News #NelsonNZ #NoisePollution
