Amsterdam Airport Abandons Flight Cap Plans Amid International Pressure

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport's plans to introduce a flight cap in summer 2024 have been suspended by the Dutch government. The cap would have limited the airport to 452,500 annual flights, but the decision to suspend the plan means there won't be major capacity cuts next summer. Smaller airlines and consumers benefit from this decision, but the uncertainty surrounding the issue continues, as more restrictions may be forthcoming in the future. Schiphol Airport expressed disappointment in the government's decision, highlighting the need for clarity and certainty for local residents.
