Noisy aircraft will be dealt with more strictly and an environmental fund will be launched with which investments can be made in the area to improve the living environment.
Schiphol has presented choices that should lead to cleaner, quieter and better aviation. Schiphol wants, among other things, by 2025-2026 at the latest, a system aimed at structural reduction of noise and CO2 emissions in line with the Paris climate agreement and not at the number of air transport movements. They also want no more planes taking off between 0.00:06.00 am and 0.00:05.00 am and no more aircraft landing between XNUMX:XNUMX am and XNUMX:XNUMX am. There will be no extra take-off and landing runway (the parallel Kaagbaan). Small business traffic and private aircraft are now banned. Noisy aircraft will be dealt with more strictly and an environmental fund will be launched with which investments can be made in the area to improve the living environment. Schiphol wants to retain and protect cargo and is committed to better pay and protection for employees in all sectors.
“Schiphol connects the Netherlands with the rest of the world. We want to keep doing that, but we have to do it in a better way. The only way forward is to become quieter and cleaner faster. For too long we have thought only about growth and too little about its toll. We must be sustainable for our employees, the environment and the world. I realize that our choices can have major effects on the sector, but they are necessary. Our input shows that we mean business. It is the only way, based on concrete measures, to regain the trust of employees, passengers, neighbours, politicians and society”.
Royal Schiphol Group opts for quieter, cleaner and better and is now backing this up with a number of clear choices. The airport can this way continue to connect the Netherlands with the world:
A quieter, cleaner and better Schiphol means:
1: New rules with clear limits for noise and CO2 emissions.
2: The noisiest aircraft are no longer welcome.
3: No more take-off between 00.00 and 06.00, no more landing between 00.00 and 05.00.
4: No more private planes and small business traffic at Schiphol.
5: No additional runways.
6: Annual investment of € 10 million in the environment and residents.
7: Cargo protection.
8: People at the center.
