Surprised Americans

It is about reducing the number of flights to and from Schiphol. Outgoing minister Mark Harpers wants to reduce the number of Schiphol flights from 500,000 to 460,000 in the next aviation year. Residents of the airport, who suffer from noise pollution, also support him.

According to De Telegraaf, the Americans are also calling on members of the Senate and House of Representatives to 'declare this summary controversial'. According to the newspaper, Americans are 'surprised' a judge is going along with Harper's plans. “The Dutch government has not complied with the Air Treaty,” it reads.

Concerns at KLM

KLM CEO Marjan Rintel says he is worried about criticism from the Americans, especially if it means KLM is losing rights in the US. If Harpers' layoff plans are implemented, he says, “countries like the US, Canada, China and Brazil could restrict KLM's access to their airports.”

“KLM will be hit twice,” he believes, as the company will also be directly affected by Schiphol's layoff plans.
