No more private jets! I want my granddaughter to enjoy the planet as much as I have.

This project requires a MUST no-vote. Ms. Healy knows better, and she must keep her promises to us.

We must not facilitate the kind of luxury for a few that will literally kill and displace the poor around the globe.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few! Just stop being so irresponsible!! Sheesh!

I am a farmer at a farm next to the Hanscom airfield. The quantity of planes that fly overhead are very disruptive, especially because we welcome thousands of volunteers, including children, to the farm each growing season. It is challenging to give task instructions to volunteers and to have meaningful discussions about food insecurity with volunteers because of the constant interruptions of flight noise. Climate change is also an incredibly pressing issue for farmers specifically—the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure leads to more extreme weather, like last year's drought and 2021's massive amount of rain, which destroys crops and makes it more dangerous for farmworkers to do their job. I do not support the expansion of planes flying overhead, especially planes that are flying for likely frivolous reasons. Stop the private jet expansion at Hanscom!

Definitely need to reduce carbon emissions from these very inefficient means of executive travel, too much pollution per person!

Let's invest in protecting forests and wetlands and other carbon sinks and in stable housing in infill areas rather than perks for super rich people. Let's keep our commitments to reduce carbon emissions rather than expanding them. Please stop the planned expansion at Hanscom.

Totally agree with stopping any expansion of private jet traffic in and out of Hanscom. It is environmentally irresponsible.

Global warming must be curbed right now. Witness our present smoke haze. Out of control forest fires caused by global warming. Now is not the time to cater to private jets - ie: polluters. Expanding Hanscom would be a huge and planet damaging mistake. Yes, it would be convenient but at what cost? In time there will be pollution free ways for jet setters to get around. Be patient and save our planet.

It’s time we all take a stand and it’s not about the noise!

Fossil fueled private jet travel is terrible for everyone whether at Hanscom or anywhere else. Gov. Healey, please do not allow Massport to expand private jet facilities unless the expanded facilities are strictly for fossil fuel free travel only.

I can't believe that this would be allowed.

Few private planes make for a cleaner, healthier world for all.

Outrageous given a climate crisis brought on mostly by the wealthiest individuals and companies of the world- including private her owners.

We need to stop deluding ourselves that the rich aren't plundering the planet with their excess. Why am I controlling my consumption and choosing clean energy, when my usage is so modest and theirs is out of control huge?

I recently notice private jets fly over my house or very close at unusual low height, seemingly just above the height allowed for drones! That certainly would change our air dramatically in a very short time because the traffic would certainly would increase.
