Flights from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport will be limited to 440,000 a year, 11% less than in 2019, to cut noise pollution, the Dutch government said on Friday, drawing praise from green groups but dismay from airlines bosses.
The decision follows a move by Schiphol itself, in which the Dutch state is the majority shareholder, to impose a cap on the number passengers it can carry this summer - although that was due to staffing shortages.
"This is a difficult message for the aviation sector that is still recovering from the far-reaching consequences of the coronavirus pandemic," he said., said the move, due to come into effect from the start of next year, would be "highly detrimental" and it would harm the country's reputation as a reliable place to do business.
