The Dutch gov's approach to noise at Schiphol raises serious concerns. Targeting only commercial aviation is discriminatory & risks discouraging investment in cleaner aircraft. Together with European Regions Airline Association (ERA) & IATA, we call for fair, effective solutions. #Schiphol #Aviation

A new Steer projection shows a widening gap: by 2030, #compliance & inefficiency costs for EU airlines could be 5x higher than in 2014 - while passenger numbers wonโ€™t even double. Europe needs smart, balanced policies now to protect a vital strategic sector. #Aviation
