The Dutch Supreme Court ruled on July 12th that the unilateral reduction of flight operations at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is illegal.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines stated, “We aim to keep connecting the Netherlands with other parts of the world while maintaining a balance with the environment. For this purpose, we have formulated a plan that is clean, quieter, and more fuel-efficient. This plan demonstrates that we can achieve our common goal of reducing noise pollution without reducing the number of flight operations,” and Willie Walsh, the Director General of IATA, expressed his appreciation by stating, “We expect a balanced approach, as defined in EU law and international treaties, to be carefully applied concerning Schiphol Airport.”
Despite the Dutch government indicating a policy of progressively reducing the number of flights at Schiphol Airport by up to 20%, in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling, the policy to reduce the number of flights has been withdrawn.
