Government wins court ruling to cut Amsterdam flights
A Netherlands court ruled the Dutch government can slash the number of flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
The Court of Appeal said government plans to cut flights do not violate Dutch or European law.
It wants to reduce the number of annual flights to 460,000 from 500,000.
The move aims to reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution at Schiphol.
IATA and several airlines including Delta Air Lines, easyJet, TUI, Corendon Airlines and KLM Group had challenged the decision.
“This is a disappointing outcome for travelers and airlines,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
The government said it wants to progressively reduce flights to 440,000 by November 2024.
