The U.S. has found the Dutch government’s flight cuts at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport are anticompetitive and in violation of the U.S.-EU Open Skies agreement.
With fewer slots available next summer at Amsterdam’s airport, the Netherlands’ plan to cap flight capacity to limit noise is starting to become a reality.
Expanding on an existing commercial partnership, Air France-KLM and Etihad are looking to collaborate on areas such as passenger operations and maintenance.
As it posted a big increase in quarterly profit, Air France-KLM reported that capacity across its airlines reached 92% of 2019 levels in the second quarter.
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.
