JetBlue Files Complaint Over Schiphol Airport Flight Curbs
29.09.2023 - 15:51 / skift.com / Schiphol Airport
U.S. carrier JetBlue Airways said on Friday it had filed a complaint against the Netherlands and the European Union to the U.S. Department of Transportation over the Dutch government’s move to curb traffic at Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport.
The Dutch government earlier this month said it would move ahead with plans to cap the number of flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport next year to reduce noise, a decision that is fiercely opposed by flag carrier KLM and airline industry groups.
“In so doing, the Dutch government stands in flagrant violation of the U.S.-EU Air Transport Agreement,” JetBlue said in its complaint.
Flights will be capped at 452,500 per year, almost 10% below 2019 levels and lower than a previous proposal of 460,000.
The move essentially closed Schiphol to new entrants, JetBlue said.
“Carriers with historics at Schiphol are facing a 4% reduction in capacity. New entrants such as JetBlue are facing a completely closed market and 100% expulsion from the market,” the company said.
“This is not a fair or proportional outcome despite Dutch government assurances otherwise.”
Airlines that use Schiphol including Air France-KLM have sued to try to prevent the cap at one of Europe’s busiest airports. They say it will harm business and violate previous agreements.
JetBlue, which has been operating two daily flights between Amsterdam and the U.S. since August, said it had asked the U.S. government to take similar steps against Dutch carriers if no solution could be reached.

The Vice Wines: Bringing Napa Valley Passion To The Next Generation Of Wine Lovers
Unless you’re inheriting family vineyards—or celebrating an IPO windfall—Napa Valley isn’t the most affordable place to start a wine brand. And when Malek Amrani created The Vice in 2016 he had neither of those—just a vision that placed equal focus on both his passion and business approach. The Vice concentrates on single-vineyard and single-varietal wines from 15 of Napa’s 16 AVAs, has a line of orange wines and bottles that begin as low as $29, far below the average price for the region. Amrani has also just been appointed to the Board of Directors of Napa Valley Vintners—quite a journey for someone who came to New York as a teenager from Morocco. I spoke with Amrani about his love of Napa, his sales-first approach to winemaking and why orange wine may be here to stay.

The Best Things to Do in Milwaukee—the Midwest's Most Overlooked Gem
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a city on the rise; so much so that it just joined our Readers’ Choice Awards list of the best big cities in the US, ranking third—just behind San Diego and Chicago. Long considered nearby Chicago's little sibling, Milwaukee has finally come into its own by growing amongst younger people for its affordability over the Second City, allowing people to buy homes and rent better apartments. Not to mention the growing restaurant scene, new infrastructure increasing walkability, and enough city amenities for the Midwest gem to truly feel desirable—it’s no longer just a small town. And with so many local colleges and a venerated art museum, there is strong curiosity and willingness to embrace the new.

The Secret Way to Bypass Security Lines at Some of Europe’s Busiest Airports
As another crazy summer of travel to Europe came to a close, Americans once again put their seemingly insatiable appetite for Europe travel on full display this year. Heading into the busy holiday season, airlines and airports in Europe are still struggling with staffing shortages and on-and-off-again worker strikes, meaning that lines and wait times at Europe’s airports will likely continue to be pretty long well into the holidays and beyond.
