In the then Environment Council Schiphol (ORS), governments, sector parties,
Interest groups and residents’ representatives agreed to make use of the start and runways that cause the least noise nuisance.
According to those rules, the report was shown in 2024. Everything that goes beyond the borders is tolerated according to the agreements. That is because the agreements have not yet been legally laid down in a new airport traffic decision, which the ministry is now working on. Below the line, this way of flying would lead to the least nuisance in the area.
Local residents are angry because it has been around for so long. “Where is our legal protection?” Says Uithoornaar Visser.
Compensation
Local residents in Uithoorn who received too much flight noise in 2023 will receive a reimbursement from the ministry. The ministry previously informed NH. How much money it is is not yet known. Uithoornaars have been compensated earlier For nuisance due to the exceeding of the noise standards.
Yet in the future it may seem to be a little better for Uithoornaars. Last month the plans for the new airspace were presented. The new layout would for one decrease in noise load in Aalsmeer and Uithoorn must ensure.
What about the contraction of Schiphol?
The cabinet wants to reduce the number of flight movements to 478,000. However, the European Commission concluded yesterday that the current plans are still inadequate. Before the Netherlands can implement this reduction, the so -called ‘balanced approach procedure’ must first be completed correctly.
Brussels requires The Hague to investigate several aspects before a final decision falls. Moreover, the State has only partially taken into account the possibilities to reduce noise nuisance with new aircraftsomething that the aviation sector and Schiphol have been emphasizing for some time.
According to the European Commission, the Netherlands also did not look sufficiently at noise-reducing flight procedures, such as advanced landing and navigation techniques. So we have to wait and see.
