US Airlines Face Flight Reductions and Rising Costs at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport
The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has accused the Netherlands of violating the air transport agreement between the United States and the European Union by implementing new flight restrictions at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The DOT is demanding that Dutch airlines submit their planned US service schedules, potentially leading to reciprocal measures that could restrict flights between the two countries. The spat highlights the disagreement between the two nations over the airport's capacity reduction and its impact on airlines and consumers.
