Dutch court overturns flight reduction plan at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.

A Dutch judge has ruled that the government cannot order Schiphol Airport to reduce the number of flights from 500,000 to 460,000 per year, dealing a blow to efforts to cut emissions and noise pollution. The decision came in a case brought by airlines and civil aviation organizations led by Dutch carrier KLM. The judge ruled that the government did not follow the correct procedure when it called on Schiphol to reduce flight numbers. KLM said it plans measures that offer "a better alternative for achieving less noise and CO2 while meeting travelers' need to fly."
