Amsterdam Schiphol Airport will cap annual flight movements at 478,000 under new legislation, Bloomberg reports.
The cap is part of a broader effort to reduce noise pollution and environmental impact, officials said per The Local.
The move follows growing concerns about air quality and urban congestion in the Netherlands, with local advocacy groups welcoming the policy shift.
E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E3, chemistry; the pressure it names: environmental impact. Its words also reach E11 organizations, E7 ecosystems, E12 states and E9 cultures.
Here it is a dynamic between chemistry, organizations and ecosystems: noise pollution and environmental impact (E3 chemistry), with Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and annual flight movements (E11 organizations), and air quality and urban congestion (E7 ecosystems).
