Legal battles leave Schiphol's flight caps uncertain.
TL;DR Summary
A Dutch court ruling has thrown Amsterdam Airport Schiphol's plans to reduce the number of yearly flights from 500,000 to 460,000 into limbo. The court ruled that the Dutch government did not follow European laws, which state that flight limits can only occur after all other avenues to reduce noise pollution have been considered. Dutch flag carrier KLM led the lawsuit against the flight caps and will now seek to prove other ways to reduce noise pollution and carbon dioxide emissions in the next phase of the case.
