KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has submitted a plan to the Dutch government detailing how it will lower noise at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport without a flight cap.
KLM and other carriers are facing the Dutch government in court this month in an appeal over noise level management policies that could see summer flights cut.
The Dutch government’s unilateral decision to reduce the number of flight movements at Schiphol Airport by 60,000 from November was egregious and unlawful.
Schiphol Group says the cap of limiting the airport to 460,000 annual flight movements beginning with the 2023/24 winter season is "feasible and workable."
An early August delivery to American Airlines was lauded as the first Boeing 787 handover in more than a year, but the manufacturer’s accounting policies mean history will tell a different story.
