What is the lawsuit about?
The Right to Protection against Aircraft Nuisance (RBV) foundation wants the government to enforce the noise standards of the World Health Organization WHO. The foundation notes that the aviation sector does not have to adhere to rules and standards, while other sectors do. The substantive hearing of the case took place yesterday. The verdict will be announced on March 20.
In the province of Utrecht, residents also fear noise pollution. Outgoing Minister Mark Harbers (Infrastructure) announced a new approach route to Schiphol at the end of 2022, which will include the province of Utrecht.
