Almost 1,400 responses were received from Fife to proposals to change flight paths to and from Edinburgh Airport.
The region accounted for just shy of a quarter of the 5,880 comments and views expressed during consultation on the airport’s airspace change programme.
More aeroplanes could fly over parts of Fife when changes are implemented in 2018.
There are worries that will bring more aircraft noise, which was the concern most frequently raised by Fife respondents followed by pollution and environmental issues.
One respondent told Edinburgh Airport that extra noise if the flight path went over Burntisland would make life “unbearable”.
Responses to the consultation conducted over 14 weeks in the summer will help shape path proposals before a second stage of consultation starts in January.
Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport chief executive, said he was encouraged with the feedback, which is detailed in a report published on Friday.
He said: “The report does not put forward our response to the consultation.
“Instead, it describes what we did to highlight this initial public consultation and what the public, organisations and elected representatives told us.
“We will be presenting our design options – in part guided by the findings of this initial consultation – and beginning a second consultation in early 2017.”
Of the 33 community councils which responded 10 were from Fife.
It also emerged only three councillors responded to the consultation in an official capacity, although some may have done so as private citizens.
