Travel umbrella organization ANVR denounces Schiphol’s approach to stop night flights


The ANVR thinks that the cancellation of night time flights primarily impacts vacation flights, making flying holidays dearer. “The vacation flights are progressively changing into the pariah of Schiphol,” says Oostdam. “We already needed to transfer to Lelystad, however that can stay closed in the meanwhile and now this once more. Whereas vacation flyers particularly fly with probably the most economical and quiet plane.”

The ANVR director believes that the plan suits in with the picture of “the dogmatic software of the precept of ‘shrinkage for the sake of shrinkage'” and that, in accordance with him, is a flawed plan of action. “As an alternative, impose strict noise and emission requirements on the airways and thus present the motivation to innovate.” As a result of with the present plans “you trigger injury to a particular section of aviation, particularly vacation flights”.

Aviation sector group BARIN can also be disenchanted that Schiphol has “unilaterally introduced measures”. “In spite of everything, all of us need the identical factor, albeit in a constructive dialogue,” says foreman Marnix Fruitema. “Sadly, Schiphol has not had any consultations with the airways and is due to this fact unnecessarily polarizing the dialogue.

BARIN says it’s “deeply involved” in regards to the penalties of some measures for aviation and vacationers, “but in addition in regards to the affect it has on the funding local weather.” “Employment is now beneath dialogue,” says Fruitema. “Schiphol doesn’t say a phrase about this.”
