KLM Welcomes More Moderate Government Plan For Fewer Flights At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

The Dutch flag carrier, KLM, has welcomed the Dutch government’s modest plan to reduce annual flight movements at the country’s primary Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The reduction is less dramatic than had been expected and will see the movements fall from the current maximum of around 500,000 annually to between 475,000 and 485,000. There have been fears that Amsterdam Schiphol Airport’s drive for quality could raise airfares.
