National broadcaster NOS reported on Monday that Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport plans to cut late-night flights as part of attempts to reduce noise pollution, citing a spokesperson for the airport.

Plans for the airport to be rolled out in the coming two years include closing it almost completely between midnight and 5 a.m., the report citing CEO Ruud Sondag said.

A spokesperson for Schiphol could not immediately be reached to confirm the report, which said the airport is also planning to ban noisier airplanes and private jets.

The Dutch government announced plans to cap flights at 440,000 per year in June 2022, below pre-COVID-19 levels of 500,000, following a years-long campaign by environmental groups over noise pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.
