Airlines Invest 700 Million In Schiphol Noise Insulation

NPO Radio 1 Haarlemmermeer 14d Impact 5
Airlines have invested 700 million euros in sound insulation for thousands of homes in and around Schiphol Airport. The cost for facade insulation is approximately 45,000 euros per house. This investment aims to address noise pollution from aircraft, such as older 747 models. This funding aims to mitigate noise from aircraft, including older models like the Boeing 747. Older aircraft, such as the Boeing 747, pay significantly higher fees for noise. Each home received insulation valued at 45,000 euros. The investment aims to reduce noise levels without reducing flight numbers, following agreements made in Brussels. Schiphol has become an expensive airport, seeing a 41 percent increase in airport fees, though a discount has recently been applied due to certain circumstances. The municipality of Amsterdam, which holds a 20 percent stake in the airport, noted a difference of 11 million.
