Appeals court judges in Amsterdam ruled Friday that the Dutch government can order Schiphol Airport, one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs, to reduce the number of flights from 500,000 per year to 460,000.
The Amsterdam Court of Appeal overturned a lower court that concluded in April the government of the Netherlands did not follow the correct procedure when it told Schiphol last year to cut flights.
The Amsterdam appeals court said in a statement Friday that it "attaches considerable weight to the interests of local residents" in the densely populated region where people have complained for years about noise pollution from the airport.
