Five airline groups are suing the Netherlands for capping flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport to cut carbon emissions.
KLM Group, Delta, Corendon, easyJet and Tui have joined forces to take proceedings against the Dutch government “in a bid to keep the Netherlands connected to the rest of the world via Schiphol airport”, KLM said in a statement.
The group said the Dutch government’s “unilateral and sudden” decision to reduce Schiphol’s capacity from 500,000 to 460,000 flight annual movements was “incomprehensible”.
