KLM Royal Dutch Airline’s CEO has written an open letter to the infrastructure minister urging a rethink of plans for a new flight cap at Amsterdam Schiphol.
KLM has raised strong concerns over Amsterdam Schiphol Airport’s decision to increase its airline charges by 41% in 2025, calling it “unreasonable and unwise.”
The ruling said the state must provide legal protection for all people who experience serious inconvenience or sleep disturbance due to Schiphol air traffic.
Amsterdam Schiphol would need to reduce its emissions by at least 30% to be in line with Paris Agreement goals, a new report commissioned by the airport shows.
The deal would see SAF delivered to Amsterdam Schiphol, allowing LOT to access carbon reduction benefits without directly using the fuel on its own flights.
Ruud Sondag, who has been interim CEO since November 2022, will stay in the role until March, when CFO Robert Carsouw will temporarily take over as interim CEO.
