Dutch government to rein in flights at Schiphol Airport
The Dutch government said Friday it will cut the maximum number of flights allowed each year at the country's busiest aviation hub, Schiphol Airport, in an attempt to reduce noise and air pollution. The decision — expected to come into force late next year — to cut the number of flights allowed from around 500,000 to 440,000 is a further blow to the airport, which has seen chaos in recent weeks amid security staff shortages, with hours-long lines of passengers waiting to board flights. The airport last week announced it will have to reduce the number of passengers it can handle each day by around 13,500 over the busy summer period because of the staff shortages.
