Dutch court approves government flight cuts at Schiphol to reduce its impacts on the environment and quality of life for nearby residents. This is a wise decision; however it likely means higher ticket prices once implemented.

There is a higher court that can hear the case, ( no idea how fast that process may be), so immediate cuts of the proposed 12%, from 500K to 440k per year is not a certainty, but definitely a possibility.
AMS has been in existence since its 1949, post war rebuild. Folks who move into the airport flight path and then complain about the noise just need to be ignored. The airport was there long before they moved in of their own volition.
