The government is currently finalising a new package of measures regarding Schiphol. “You can expect news soon.” Noise reduction is the end goal. To achieve this, Barry Madlener, Minister of Infrastructure, is working on new ‘balanced apporach’ regulations in which all stakeholders will be heard, and plans will also be discussed with the EU in advance. The minister said this in an interview with TravMagazine at the presentation of KLM’s A321neo. ‘We are working on new regulations for aviation.
We will probably do this with a balanced approach, in which various measures will be taken.
It is about new aircraft, it is also about pricing, it is also about night and day flights.
It is a complete package of measures to achieve that 20% reduction over a number of years .’ ‘The airlines have a right to expect us to secure the future economically as well.
And we have to find that balance.
And this government is going to try to do that in a good way.
And I hope to get as many supporters as possible for that.
So I’m doing my best to come up with a package with all stakeholders.
Maybe a bit like the Dutch polder model, but that somewhere we find a nice balance between economic interests and aviation and still a liveable environment .’ More of the interview in the upcoming Podcast.
