flag Dutch court invalidates Schiphol flight cap, citing insufficient noise reduction proof.

flag The Dutch Supreme Court has struck down a 2024 cap on annual flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, ruling the government failed to prove the limit would reduce noise, as aircraft vary widely in noise levels. flag The decision, which invalidates the 478,000-flight cap, upholds existing nighttime flight restrictions. flag The ruling follows opposition from airlines and demands from residents and activists for stronger noise controls. flag Schiphol, which handled over 66 million passengers in 2024, continues a €10 billion renovation with major upgrades and a projected completion date of 2050.
