The expansion of the airport of Lelystad Airport can continue. The Council of State (RvS) has objections to the zoning plan of the municipality of Lelystad today dismissed.
That seems to be good news for amsterdam’s Schiphol airport as Amsterdam airport, relieved, because a large part of the holiday flights in 2018 by Lelystad is processed. But a sustainable solution for Schiphols growth problems it is not, experts.
The cabinet decided in 2015 that Lelystad Airport for holiday flights have to go to catch where at amsterdam airport Schiphol is no longer a place for. The Amsterdam airport is close to the capaciteitsgrenzen to that in 2008 local residents have been agreed to in the period up to 2020, the noise within the limits.
holiday flights
The zoning plan of Lelystad Airport makes it possible for the runway to extend from 1250 metres to 2700 metres, and broaden from 30 metres to 45 metres. That makes the airport suitable for heavier aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320.
amsterdam airport Schiphol is delighted about the ruling. Who creates according to the airport company clarity on the development of Lelystad Airport to the vakantieluchthaven of the Netherlands. “This is positive news for the aviation sector in the Netherlands’, says Schiphol airport, in a press release. The airport will continue to not substantively address questions of RTL Z.
Surplus to flight movements
The expansion of airports around Schiphol airport is, according to experts, however, is not a sustainable solution for the problems in Amsterdam. In 2020, amsterdam’s Schiphol airport is a surplus of 100,000 aircraft movements on the basis of current growth rates. “The thousands of flights Lelystad can take it at that time is a drop in the ocean,” says Professor of Transport Jaap de Wit.
Also luchtvaartspecialist Hans Heerkens is skeptical about the expansion of airports in the periphery of the airport. “It is intended that Schiphol airport it relieves is, but the maximum growth of those small airports is limited for a conclusive solution to offer,” he says.
Other solutions
A single solution for the growing problems of Schiphol is not there, Heerkens. There may be in addition to the expansion of airports in the region, a number of other things to be done. So on some lines the frequency down by using bigger aircraft, he speculates.
there is according to him not every half hour on a plane to Paris to leave. “That would airlines not because they have a lot of flights like to offer to the traveler who is flexible to travel.” The wants of the consumer plays a big role.
more Expensive tickets
That is also true for the second solution; the cost of tickets. That proposal falls in many businesses, and consumers wrong, but according to Heerkens one of the most important solutions that in the longer term be able to ensure that the aviation sector can continue to grow.
the Netherlands must, according to him, bets on the business traveler. “As the aircraft get bigger and the tickets more expensive, than take the delay off and it becomes a lot easier to get to our country. That audience makes for economic growth.”
Economic impact
Or a stop on the growth of air traffic has adverse effects on the Dutch economy, such as stakeholders, often as an argument suggesting when they argue for easing of luchtvaartregels, remains to be seen.
“of Course you deliver what if you grows less, but the important thing is that you have the Netherlands reached for businesses and tourists. That is also possible without that airport on the same foot grows, as is currently the case,” says Heerkens.
