KLM has expressed strong discontent over the Dutch government’s decision to cap the number of flights at Schiphol Airport next year to 478,000. The airline questions the rationale behind this limit, asserting that it contradicts their substantial investments in quieter aircraft and proposed measures aimed at reducing noise for local residents. KLM warns that limiting flights could provoke retaliatory actions from other countries, impacting their operations, especially in the financially critical U.S. market. Local residents and the Society Council Schiphol also criticize the government’s decision, arguing it fails to protect the community from noise pollution.
