The FAA announced it will reduce flight capacity by 10% at 40 major airports starting Friday due to a government shutdown, potentially cutting thousands of flights daily, in an unprecedented move aimed at maintaining airspace safety.
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."
